1. “You should have regular check-ups,” David told me.
→ David________me to have regular check-ups.
Đáp án: C. advised
Giải thích: Xét về nghĩa của câu trực tiếp, David đang đưa ra lời khuyên nên đi khám sức khỏe thường xuyên nên ta cần điền vào chỗ trống của câu gián tiếp một động từ tường thuật diễn tả sự khuyên bảo. Do đó, phương án C. advised là phù hợp nhất. Ta có cấu trúc: “advise + O + to-V” (khuyên ai nên làm gì).
