Select the most appropriate direct form of the given sentence.

The student requested the teacher to speak a little slowly so that he could note down the points.

The student said to the teacher, “Please speak a little slowly so that I can note down the points.”

The most appropriate direct form of the given sentence is:

The student said to the teacher, "Please speak a little slowly so that I can note down the points."

The other answer choices are incorrect for the following reasons:

• The student said to the teacher, “Speak a little slowly so that he could note down the points.” - This is incorrect because the pronoun "he" in the direct speech refers to the student, but the student is asking the teacher to speak slowly so that the student can note down the points.
• The student told to the teacher, “Please speak a little slowly so that I could note down the points.” - This is incorrect because the verb "told" is too formal in this context. It is better to use the verb "said".
• The student said , “Madam, speak a little slowly so that we can note down the points.” - This is incorrect because the word "Madam" is unnecessary in this context. It is also incorrect to say "we can note down the points" when the student is only speaking about themselves.
