  • C.The teacher urged the boys to be quiet.
  • D.The teacher commanded the boys that they be quiet.

Answer: C

Correct answer: The teacher urged the boys to be quiet.

An imperative is reported with a verb of command or exhortation followed by to + infinitive. The vocative boys becomes the object of that verb. The options keeping be quiet inside a that clause leave the imperative unconverted.
