Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech. Mrs. Lisa suggested that we should purchase the property.
The correct answer is: Mrs. Lisa said, “Let us purchase the property.”
This option accurately reflects the suggestion made by Mrs. Lisa. The original sentence, "Mrs. Lisa suggested that we should purchase the property," is in indirect speech. Converting it to direct speech requires understanding the implied meaning of the suggestion. "Should" implies a recommendation or a proposal for collective action. Options 2 and 3 don't capture this collaborative sense; option 2 is a declarative statement, and option 3 is a permission, neither of which are inherent in a suggestion. Option 4, while polite, lacks the collaborative and suggestive element. Therefore, only "Let us purchase the property" effectively conveys Mrs. Lisa's suggestion as a direct quote, accurately mirroring the original meaning in a conversational manner. The use of "Let us" in this context emphasizes the collaborative aspect of the suggestion, aligning with the original meaning more accurately than the alternative options.
