Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding indirect to direct speech.
The sentence uses "forbade," which shows strong command. The direct speech equivalent should express an order.

Step 2: Analyze options.
(A) Scolded — expresses anger, not command.
(B) Asked — too mild, doesn't match "forbade."
(C) Said — vague, lacks commanding tone.
(D) Ordered — correct, equivalent of "forbade."

Step 3: Conclusion.
Answer is (D).
