Correct Answer: She ordered her maid to clean the utensils properly.
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- The reporting verb "said" is changed to "ordered" as the given sentence is an imperative sentence.
- There would be no change in the pronoun, as there is no change in the person.
- The infinitive "to" is used and followed by the base form of the verb to emphasise the imperative nature of the sentence.
Therefore, the indirect form is: She ordered her maid to clean the utensils properly.
