Choose the correct indirect form of the sentence: He said to his younger brother, "Always speak the truth."

A He advised his younger brother that always speak the truth.

B He advised his younger brother to always speak the truth.

C He told to his younger brother always speaking the truth.

D He requested his younger brother that he speaks the truth.

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option B

• When an imperative sentence gives advice or a moral teaching (such as 'always speak the truth'), the reporting verb 'said to' changes to 'advised'. • The connective 'to' is placed before the base verb (to always speak the truth). • Option B correctly follows this grammatical rule.

Choose the correct indirect form of the sentence: He said to his younger brother, "Always speak the truth."
