Correct Answer: The surgeon says, “You should get anaesthesia for the surgery.”


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

We know that the reporting verb remains unchanged when it is in the present tense, but the first-person pronoun is changed to the second-person in the direct speech.

Also, there would be the addition of commas and inverted commas in the direct speech.

So, the direct speech sentence would be: The surgeon says , “ You should get anaesthesia for the surgery ".
