Question

Change the direct speech into indirect speech: Jolly said to him, "Please, do me a favor." A) Jolly asked him to do her a favor. B) Jolly says, "Please, do me a favor." C) Jolly told him, "Please, do me a favor." D) Jolly asked, "Please, do me a favor."

Answer 1

The direct speech 'Jolly said to him, "Please, do me a favor."' can be converted into indirect speech as 'Jolly asked him to do her a favor.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The task is to convert the direct speech given into indirect speech. The sentence in question is: Jolly said to him, 'Please, do me a favor.' Here, Jolly is directly asking a favor. In indirect speech, this request is reported or relayed without quoting the exact words. So, the correct transformation into indirect speech here would be: A) Jolly asked him to do her a favor. The other options still present the request as direct speech, which is not what the question is asking for.
