Question:

Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.

His wife begged him not to take risk of going out in the stormy night.

Options:

His wife said, “Please, don’t take risk of went out in the stormy night”.

His wife said, “Please, don’t risking going out in the stormy night”.

His wife said, “Please, does not take risk of going out in the stormy night”.

His wife said, “Please, don’t take risk of going out in the stormy night”.

Correct Answer:

His wife said, “Please, don’t take risk of going out in the stormy night”.

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 4 - His wife said, “Please, don’t take risk of going out in the stormy night”.

  1. Maintaining the original intent: The direct form must preserve the meaning of the indirect sentence, where the wife is begging him not to take a risk.

  2. Correct grammar: "Don’t take risk of going out" is grammatically correct and matches the structure of a direct plea.

Thus, the best choice is: “Please, don’t take risk of going out in the stormy night.”

OTHER OPTIONS

  • “Please, don’t take risk of went out in the stormy night”: Incorrect because "went" is the wrong tense; it should be "going."

  • “Please, don’t risking going out in the stormy night”: Incorrect because "don’t risking" is ungrammatical; it should be "don’t risk."

  • “Please, does not take risk of going out in the stormy night”: Incorrect because "does not" is grammatically wrong in this context; it should be "don’t."
