Option 1: Father said to Avika, “ Stop eating the TV and watch your food.”
Option 2: Father said, “Avika, Why can’t you stop watching the TV and eat your food?”
Option 3: Father said, “Avika, stop watching the TV and eat her food.”
Option 4: Father said, “Avika, stop watching the TV and eat your food.
Correct Answer: Father said, “Avika, stop watching the TV and eat your food.
Solution : The fourth option is correct.
Direct speech is a form of speech or writing where the actual words spoken by a person are quoted within quotation marks and attributed to the speaker.
Narration conversion:
- The verb "told" changes into "said".
- The third person pronoun "her" changes into the second person pronoun "your".
- The direct words of the speaker are enclosed in inverted commas.
Therefore, the direct form would be: Father said, "Avika, stop watching the TV and eat your food."
