Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The kid begged her mother not to leave her alone there.
- Inverted comma is removed.
- 'Told' changes to 'begged' as 'please' is mentioned.
- 'Don't' changes to 'not to'.
- 'Me' changes to 'her' according to 'the kid' as the first person changes according to the subject of the reporting verb.
- 'Here' changes to 'there'
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
