Mukta requested Nikita to share the picture taken during the wedding.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. No improvement required.

Error concept: Checking tense and structure of reporting verb.

What is wrong: The sentence already uses the correct past tense verb “requested” with the object “Nikita” and the infinitive “to share.”

Grammatical concept: The correct structure is request + object + infinitive (e.g., requested her to share).

Incorrectness of the concept in context: Options like “requesting Nikita to share,” “will requests Nikita,” or “requested Nikita for share” are grammatically incorrect.

How to correct: No correction is needed.

Correct phrase/ correction: No improvement required

Final sentence: Mukta requested Nikita to share the picture taken during the wedding.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
