Choose the option that best transforms the given sentence from direct speech to indirect speech:
He said to his daughter, "Will you stop playing that terrible music of yours and let me do my work in peace?"
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
In indirect speech, the interrogative request becomes 'asked... to', and pronouns shift: 'yours' to 'hers' and 'me/my' to 'him/his'. Option 2 retains every detail of the original, 'that terrible music of hers' and 'in peace', with correct pronoun changes, making it the most faithful transformation. The other options omit or alter details.
