Select the option that expresses the following sentence in direct speech.
He requested him to wait there till he returned.

Correct option is A

Given Sentence:
He requested him to wait there till he returned.
Steps to Convert to Direct Speech:
Identify the Reporting Verb:
The reporting verb "requested" indicates that the original sentence was a polite request. In direct speech, this is often reflected with the word "please."
Convert the Reported Speech:
The indirect command "to wait there till he returned" needs to be changed to a direct command.
"Wait" remains in the imperative form, and "there" changes to "here" because the original speaker was referring to the current location.
"He returned" changes to "I return" to reflect that the speaker is referring to himself.
Pronoun Changes:
The pronoun "he" changes to "I" because the speaker is directly addressing the person in direct speech.
"There" changes to "here" because the location is relative to the speaker's position.
Tense and Structure:
The past tense "returned" changes to the present tense "return" in direct speech, maintaining the original meaning of the speaker's command.
Quotation Marks:
The speaker’s exact words are placed within quotation marks.
Correct Answer:
(a) He said to him, “Please wait here till I return.”
