Correct Answer: She told me not to worry about her


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:

  • Said will get replaced with told .
  • Don't will get replaced with not to.
  • The first person pronoun "me" changes to the third-person pronoun "her".

Therefore, the indirect form would be: S he told me not to worry about her .
