Problem 11 - Entrance Test

Which of the following is the correct indirect speech? Direct: The doctor said, "You need to take rest."

Correct: B

When 'said' is used with an object (me), it changes to 'told'. The object pronoun 'you' changes to 'I' (since the doctor is speaking to the patient). The reporting verb 'said' becomes 'told' and requires an indirect object (me). The correct answer is: The doctor told me that I needed to take rest.
