Correct Answer: The manager said to him, "I will ask you to leave the meeting if you continue to make negative remarks."


Solution : The correct option is the third option.

Narration Conversion:

  • The verb told is changed to said in direct speech.
  • The third-person pronoun she is changed to the first-person pronoun I in direct speech.
  • Would is changed to will and continued is changed to continue to maintain tense consistency.

Therefore, the direct narration is: The manager said to him, "I will ask you to leave the meeting if you continue to make negative remarks."
