Question

Choose the option in which the following sentence has been correctly changed into Indirect Narration.
Sunita said, “Please help me, Ram”

A.

Sunita asked Ram for help.

B.

Sunita requested Ram to help her.

C.

Sunita asked Ram to help her.

D.

Sunita told Ram that she should be helped.

Correct option is B


The correct indirect narration is (b) Sunita requested Ram to help her.
Detailed Explanation (English):
• The word “Please” shows a polite request, so “said” changes to requested.
• The sentence is an imperative/request, so in indirect speech we use: requested + object + to + V1.
• Pronoun “me” changes according to the speaker (Sunita) → her.
• Quotation marks are removed in indirect speech.
Grammatical Rule Used (English):
• Request/Imperative (Direct): “Please + V1 …”
• Indirect: Subject + requested + object + to + V1
• Pronoun change depends on the speaker and listener.
Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):
• “Please” वाले वाक्य request दर्शाते हैं, इसलिए “said” बदलकर requested हो जाता है।
• Imperative/request को Indirect में बदलते समय संरचना होती है: requested + object + to + verb (V1)
• “me” का परिवर्तन speaker के अनुसार होता है (Sunita → her)।
Example:
Direct: He said, “Please sit down.”
Indirect: He requested me to sit down.
Why other options are incorrect:
• (a) Meaning becomes incomplete/short and does not keep the “to-infinitive” request structure used in the paper’s pattern.
• (c) “asked” can be used, but “Please” makes requested the most appropriate reporting verb here.
• (d) Passive/should-structure changes the meaning and is not the standard request transformation.
