The correct indirect form of the given sentence is: OPTION 2 -
Mrs Mehta reminded him not to forget to order sweets for Diwali.
-
Change of Structure: The direct command "Don't forget" is correctly transformed into a reminder in indirect speech.
-
Correct Use of Infinitive: The phrase "to order sweets" is maintained in its correct infinitive form.
-
Pronoun Consistency: "Him" is appropriately used, assuming that Mrs. Mehta is addressing a specific person.
Thus, the best choice that accurately reflects the original meaning in indirect speech is: "Mrs. Mehta reminded him not to forget to order sweets for Diwali."
OTHER OPTIONS
-
Mrs. Mehta scolded him for not to forget to order sweets for Diwali.: Incorrect because "scolded" implies reprimanding, which is not the intent of the original statement, and "not to forget" is incorrectly phrased; it should be "not forgetting."
-
Mrs. Mehta reminded them to dont forget to order sweets for Diwali.: Incorrect due to the misspelling of "don't" and the use of "them," which may not fit the context unless it's clear who "them" refers to.
-
Mrs. Mehta reminded him don't forget to ordered sweets for Diwali.: Incorrect because "don't forget" is not appropriately changed for indirect speech, and "ordered" should be "order."
