The boy told his teacher to explain the passage.

  • A.called his teacher
  • B.said to his teacher
  • C.asked his teacher
  • D.No improvement required.

Answer: C

It should read asked his teacher.

A boy does not tell his teacher to do something; tell carries the force of an instruction from a superior. Ask is the verb for a request, and takes the same object-plus-infinitive pattern.
