Answer 3

Both "said" and "told" can be used in this sentence, but they have slightly different meanings:

1. "The child came up to his mother and said something in a quiet voice."

In this version, "said" is a more general term for expressing words or information. It implies that the child spoke to his mother, but it doesn't specify whether he shared information or simply spoke words without addressing a specific message.

2. "The child came up to his mother and told her something in a quiet voice."

In this version, "told" is a more specific term, indicating that the child shared information or a message with his mother. It implies that the child communicated a specific piece of information to his mother.

Both options are grammatically correct, so you can choose the one that best fits the intended meaning of your sentence. If you want to emphasize that the child conveyed specific information, "told" might be the better choice. If you want a more general statement about the child speaking to his mother, "said" works well.
