The second option is correct: directive language attempts to influence or get someone to take an action in the future (commands, requests, instructions, suggestions).
Note: directives can use connotation or persuasive wording to increase compliance, but their primary function is to prompt future action (e.g., "Please submit the report by Friday," "Turn off the lights").
