In pragmatic theory, indirect speech acts occur when an utterance has a distinct illocutionary force that goes beyond its literal locutionary form. Based on the classification of speech acts in formal professional discourse, choose the alternative that CORRECTLY identifies the function of the following sentence: "I would appreciate it if you could submit the report by Friday."
- AThe utterance functions as an indirect directive because its primary communicative intent is to get the listener to perform a specific action despite its declarative form.
- BThe utterance functions as a declarative act because the inclusion of a specific deadline such as "Friday" establishes a new institutional reality within the workplace.
- CThe utterance functions as a commissive act because the conditional structure "if you could" implies a reciprocal promise made by the speaker to the interlocutor.
- DThe utterance functions as a primary expressive act because the modal verb "would" serves to describe the speaker's hypothetical psychological state regarding the report.
