Teacher: “Tom, read the story, please”. Teacher asked Tom ___ . ?
Explanation
In the original sentence, the teacher directly requests Tom to read the story. To express this request indirectly, we focus on the action being requested. The phrase "asked Tom to read the story" accurately captures the nature of the request. The infinitive "to read" indicates the action that Tom is being asked to perform.
Looking at the options:
A) "to read the story" clearly reflects the direct request into a sentence that conveys the same meaning using indirect speech.
B) "read the story" lacks the necessary "to," making it grammatically incorrect in this context.
C) "that he reads it" changes the meaning; it suggests a statement rather than a request, making it inappropriate.
D) "whether he reads the story" implies a question about Tom's reading rather than a direct request, which is not the case.
Therefore, option A is the correct choice, accurately maintaining the intent and structure of the teacher's request.
