The chief guest concluded his speech as he requested to stop by the organisers.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. he was requested.
The sentence describes an event in the past, where the chief guest was asked to stop by the organisers. Therefore, "he was requested" is the correct past tense passive construction.
The other options, "he is requested" (present tense), and "he will be requested" (future tense), are not suitable for the context.
