Direct speeches are characterised by being enclosed usually in a quotation mark, and accompanied by a reporting verb.

For example, "You absolutely have no idea what I've been through" said Tommy, angrily.

In the example above, the statement in the quotation mark is the direct speech, while it is accompanied by the reporting verb "said".

for this case, we must find the number of deaths per day of the year 2015, in automobile accidents, knowing that 32,400 people died.
