Choose the correct option to change the following sentence into Direct Speech.

He commanded me to guard the door.

He said, "Guard the door."

He requested, "Guard the door."

He said, "Guarded the door."

He told, "Guard the door."

✅ Correct Option: 1

Commanded suggests an order, so in direct speech it becomes an imperative: Guard the door. Requested weakens the force of a command. Guarded is past tense and incorrect in an imperative. Told requires an object like told me. Option 1 is most accurate.

Note: Among the given choices, option 1 best reflects a command, though commanded would map more precisely than said.
