Correct Answer: He said to me, "Welcome. Please be seated."


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Narration Conversion:

  • The verb said is used followed by the object to whom the words are spoken.
  • The greeting and request to be seated gets converted into the phrase "Welcome. Please be seated" to convey the greeting and the request.
  • The words of the speaker are enclosed in quotation marks.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He said to me, "Welcome. Please be seated."
