Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

The girl (told her teacher) to explain the passage.

said to her teacher

asked her teacher

called her teacher

no improvement

- The original phrase "(told her teacher)" implies a directive or straightforward communication.

- Option 1: said to her teacher

- "Said" is more about relaying speech without indicating a request for action.

- It’s less suitable here as the context suggests a request for help rather than mere speech.

- Option 2: asked her teacher

- "Asked" implies a request or question, fitting the context where the girl requests an explanation.

- This option is the most contextually appropriate for suggesting a query.

- Option 3: called her teacher

- "Called" implies either getting attention or using a phone, not directly related to asking for an explanation in this setting.

- Option 4: no improvement

- Keeping "told her teacher" might wrongly suggest the girl is issuing an order, not asking for assistance.
