Correct Answer: Esha said to Anshul, "Please lower the volume of the TV as the baby is sleeping."
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
Direct speech is a form of speech or writing where the actual words spoken by a person are quoted within quotation marks and attributed to the speaker.
Narration conversion:
- The infinitive form of the verb (to lower) will be changed to the base form (lower) as it is an imperative sentence, which would start with the word "please".
- The past continuous tense "was sleeping" is changed to the present continuous tense "is sleeping".
Therefore, the correct answer is: Esha said to Anshul, 'Please lower the volume of the TV as the baby is sleeping.'
