Anurag requested his employer for permission to leave office a little early that day.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. Anurag asked his employer, "Please may I leave office a little early today?"
Changes required:
Verb – “to leave” becomes “may I leave” in direct speech.
Tense – "that day" in indirect changes to "today" in direct.
Others – "requested" changes to polite asking using "Please may I..."
Converted sentence: Anurag asked his employer, "Please may I leave office a little early today?"
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
