English Narration Imperative Sentence Question #7818 (CAT-I)

Select the correct indirect speech: The master said to his servant, "Fetch me a cup of tea."

A The master asked his servant that fetch him a cup of tea.

B The master told his servant to fetch me a cup of tea.

C The master ordered his servant to fetch him a cup of tea.

D The master commanded to his servant fetching a cup of tea.

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option C

• A master giving an instruction to a servant implies an order, so 'ordered' is the best reporting verb. • The first-person pronoun 'me' changes to 'him' because it refers to the master (subject of the reporting verb). • Option C is completely correct.

Select the correct indirect speech: The master said to his servant, "Fetch me a cup of tea."
