telling

informing to

saying

asking to

- The original phrase "telling to" is incorrect; "to" is unnecessary after "telling."

- Option 1: telling

- Correct because it conveys that Juliet is giving Ben instructions directly.

- "Telling" doesn't need "to" when followed by a direct object like "Ben."

- The correct choice.

- Option 2: informing to

- Incorrect because "informing" doesn't pair with "to" in this context.

- "Informing" typically involves providing information, not giving commands.

- Option 3: saying

- Incorrect in the context of giving instructions.

- "Saying" is usually used when relaying or repeating words.

- Option 4: asking to

- Incorrect without the word "him" following "asking."

- "Asking" involves making a request, not telling directly.
