Correct Answer: I ordered the office boy to take those papers to the manager immediately.


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

Narration Conversion:

  • The verb said is changed to ordered because it is an imperative sentence, and the verb is being used to convey the command.
  • In the indirect speech, the imperative statement is changed using the infinitive form (to take).
  • The pronoun these is changed to those in the indirect form.
  • The first-person pronoun "I" remains unchanged.

Therefore, the sentence in the correct indirect form is: I ordered the office boy to take those papers to the manager immediately.
