  3. He told them not to making a noise.
  4. He asked them that not to make a noise.

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: He forbade them to make a noise.

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) He forbade them to make a noise. šŸ“š Explanation: In reported speech for negative imperatives, we can use the verb 'forbid' (which carries a negative meaning itself) followed by a positive infinitive ('to make'). Alternatively, one could use 'told them not to make a noise'. Option A and D are incorrect because the conjunction 'that' is not used with infinitives in reported imperatives.
