Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Sitab requests Madam to watch that program on their folk songs.

  • The given sentence is an imperative sentence. An imperative sentence always indicates command , request or advise. 
  • The word 'please' indicates a request, so 'says' will be changed to 'requests'.
  • When converting direct to indirect speech, 'this' will be changed to 'that'.
  • After following these steps, we got the indirect speech: Sitab requests Madam to watch that program on their folk songs.
