The father warned his son that he should be beware of him.

  • A.The father warned his son, “Beware of him!”
  • B.The father warned his son, “Watch that chap!”
  • C.The father warned his son, “Be careful about him.”
  • D.The father warned his son, “Don’t fall into the trap.”

Answer: A

Correct answer: The father warned his son, “Beware of him!”

Working backwards from indirect to direct: warned… that he should beware reports an imperative, so the original was the command Beware of him!. The other three options say something similar but are not what the reported form yields - a warning to watch that chap or be careful would have been reported with different words.
