AMr. Varma advised us not to sleep late and miss the bus.

BMr. Varma advises us not to sleep late and miss the bus.

CMr. Varma advised us to sleep late and miss the bus.

DMr. Varma advised us not to sleep late and missed the bus

Answer:

A. Mr. Varma advised us not to sleep late and miss the bus.

Read Explanation:

Mr. Varma advised us not to sleep late and miss the bus. / വൈകി ഉറങ്ങരുതെന്നും ബസ് മിസ്സാകരുതെന്നും വർമ്മ ഉപദേശിച്ചു.

  • The original direct speech is in the past tense ("said"). The reported speech should also be in the past tense ("advised") to maintain the sequence of tenses.
  • The reported speech accurately reflects the original statement made by Mr. Varma, instructing not to sleep late and miss the bus.

Let's examine each option and explain why they are incorrect:

  • "Mr. Varma advises us not to sleep late and miss the bus." - This option uses the present tense ("advises") instead of the past tense. So, this option is incorrect.
  • "Mr. Varma advised us to sleep late and miss the bus." - ഈ ഓപ്ഷൻ മിസ്റ്റർ വർമ്മയുടെ ഉപദേശത്തിൻ്റെ അർത്ഥം തെറ്റായി പറയുന്നു. യഥാർത്ഥ പ്രസ്താവനയിൽ, വൈകി ഉറങ്ങുന്നതിനും ബസ് മിസ്സാകുന്നതിനും എതിരെ മിസ്റ്റർ വർമ്മ മുന്നറിയിപ്പ് നൽകുന്നു, എന്നാൽ ഈ ഓപ്ഷൻ വിപരീതമാണ് സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നത്.
  • "Mr. Varma advised us not to sleep late and missed the bus." - This option incorrectly uses "missed" instead of "miss" in the reported speech.
