Select the most appropriate indirect form of the given sentence.
She said to him, “Please fill in this form.”
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. She requested him to fill in that form.
The sentence is a polite request ('Please fill in this form'). When converting such sentences into indirect speech, the verb 'requested' is used to convey politeness.
'This' changes to 'that' in indirect speech as it refers to something away from the speaker.
The word 'please' is omitted in indirect speech and replaced by 'requested' to maintain the tone of the original sentence.
Thus, the sentence becomes:
'She requested him to fill in that form.'
