Choose the correct option to transform the sentence into indirect speech :-
"Beware, there is a danger", the captain said to his soldiers.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
The direct speech 'Beware, there is a danger' is a warning, so the reporting verb becomes 'warned' followed by an infinitive: the captain warned the soldiers to beware of the danger. Option 1 keeps 'is' instead of shifting tense, and options 3 and 4 change or lose the warning structure.
