Answer:

1) The players said that their captain had injured himself badly.

2) The doctor told the patient not to smoke anymore.

3) My friend proposed to me that we should meet the captain.

4) The mother said that the rain would soon stop and that we could go out to play.

5) The man asked the policewoman if she could show him the way to the station.

Explanation:

There are two ways to relay someone's words:

  • Direct (quoted) speech - the words are quoted exactly as they are spoken. It's always used with quotation marks.
  • Indirect (reported) speech - the words are relayed without being explicitly quoted.

You can see some examples that could help you with the conversion of direct speech into indirect speech below. An important thing to be careful about are the tenses, as they often change in indirect speech.

snow_lady [41]

Hi. Your question is incomplete and this makes it difficult for me to answer it. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question just like yours. This question asked you to show which two central ideas of "Homer. The Poet for All Ages" support popular belief about Homer. If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.

The central ideas that show popular beliefs about Homer, presented in the text, can be seen in the two excerpts below:

  • "One legend says that long ago in Greece, a blind poet, Homer, wandered from city to city and earned his living by reciting poems."  
  • "Some people believe that such a poet really lived, and that he composed the Iliad and the Odyssey himself and recited them in the cities where he stayed."

"Homer. The Poet for All Ages" introduces the poet Homer and his incredible ability to compose stories and poems in a millennium epoch. Homer is highly recognized and admired even today, but his life is a mystery, many people believe he didn't even exist, but many people believe not only that he was real, but that he was the author of "Iliad " and "Odyssey." This belief is strengthened through the legend that there was a Greek poet, who although blind, had a great ability to compose stories and made a living telling these stories and reciting poems.
