Correct Answer: My mother said to me, "Bring a glass of water for me."
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Reported speech is the form of speech used to convey what was said by someone at some point in time.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- The reporting verb "asked" is changed to "said to" in the direct speech.
- The pronoun "her" (third-person pronoun) is changed to "me" (first-person pronoun) in the direct speech part.
- In direct speech, the preposition "to" is removed and the tense remains consistent to maintain the imperative nature of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: My mother said to me, "Bring a glass of water for me ."
