Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

Roopa said to me, "Please accompany me to the market."

Roopa requested me to accompany her to the market.

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

Roopa requested me to accompany her to the market.

The other options are incorrect:

• "Roopa said please accompany me to the market." This is incorrect because it is a direct form of speech, not an indirect form.
• "Roopa said to me that you must accompany me to the market." This is incorrect because it is too forceful. A more polite way to make a request is to use the word "please".
• "Roopa is requesting me to accompany her to the market." This is incorrect because the reporting verb is "is requesting", which is in the present tense. This means that the reported statement is describing an action that is happening in the present, but the speaker is talking about the past.
