The correct answer is Option (2) - Salim requested me to shut the door.
The correct option to transform the sentence "Please shut the door," Salim said into indirect speech is: Salim requested me to shut the door.
- Direct Speech: The original statement is a direct request made by Salim, using the word "please."
- Indirect Speech: In indirect speech, we often use verbs like "requested," "asked," or "told" to convey what someone said without quoting them directly.
- Correct Transformation: The phrase "requested me to" accurately conveys the politeness and the intention of the original request.
OTHER OPTIONS
-
Salim said shut the door.
This option is incorrect because it does not convey the politeness of the original request and fails to use proper indirect speech structure.
-
Salim please shut the door.
This option is incorrect as it still retains the direct speech form and does not transform it into indirect speech.
-
Salim made a request let the door shut.
This option is awkward and incorrect as it doesn't properly convey the meaning of the original request and doesn't follow the structure of indirect speech.
