English

Answer:

Varun told Ayaan that he should take care of his old parent.

Explanation:

In reporting or writing speeches, the direct form is when the exact words of the speaker are used along with the speech marks/ inverted commas. But in the indirect speech form, the inverted commas will be removed and the verbs in the direct speech are to be changed according to their tenses. This means that if the verb is in the present tense in the direct speech, then the indirect speech will use the corresponding past tense of that verb.

In the given example, Varun is talking to Ayaan about his (Ayaan's) old parent. Thus, the "you" and "your" in the speech refers to Ayaan. So, we take out the commas and the inverted commas and change the pronouns accordingly. And the modal verb "should" remains unchanged in a reporting speech.

Thus, the indirect speech of the given speech becomes-

<u><em>Varun told Ayaan that he should take care of his old parent.</em></u>

<u>The correct answer is "It shows similarities with Stalin's Great Purge and reveals how dictators use fear to control people".</u>

Stalin used diverse tactics to deceit the people and gain control over his image. Once he got to a position of perceived power, he used the secret police in the same way that Napoleon uses his dogs: to quiet down the opposition with the use of force and fear-spreading. <u>Public displays of violence as a form of punishment result in a society controlled by fear, where everyone behaves according to the imposition of a tyrant or dictator</u>.

Hope this is helpful to you!
