The correct answer is The teacher ordered the boy to lớn sit down.

Key Points

  • When there is an object present after the reporting verb, the reporting verb is changed according to lớn the tone of the speech.
    • Since the tone of speech is an authoritative one, 'said' is changed to lớn 'ordered'
  • We use order someone to lớn vì thế something and not 'order to lớn someone', so Option 3 is correct.

Thus, the sentence becomes: The teacher ordered the boy to lớn sit down.
