Correct Answer: He said to me, “Don’t jump to any conclusion.”
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The direct form of a sentence typically involves quoting the exact words spoken by someone.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- The reporting verb "told" is changed to "said".
- The pronouns remain the same because the original sentence doesn't involve a change in person.
- The imperative phrase "not to jump to any conclusion" is quoted directly and enclosed within quotation marks.
Therefore, the direct form would be: He said to me, "Do not jump to any conclusion."
