Choose the direct speech of the sentence: She told me to stand up. ?
Explanation
Among the given options, D: "She said to me, 'Stand up.'" accurately represents the direct speech format. It retains the core message and conveys that the speaker is directly addressing someone, indicating both the speaker ("She") and the recipient ("me"). Furthermore, it uses the verb "said," which is appropriate for relaying spoken commands.
In contrast:
- A ("She said, 'Do stand up.'") alters the original wording and introduces "do," which changes the emphasis and is less direct.
- B ("She told, 'Stand up.'") incorrectly uses "told" without specifying the recipient, which is grammatically incorrect in direct speech.
- C ("She said me, 'Stand up.'") improperly combines "said" with "me," which is not a standard construction in direct speech.
Therefore, "She said to me, 'Stand up.'" captures the essence of the original sentence, using the correct structure and wording.
