The correct answer is Option (2) → Ms Fernandes begged the jeep driver to take her back to her hotel before it got dark.

Changing an urgent request into indirect speech:

Change	Direct	Indirect	Why
Reporting verb	said to the jeep driver, “For God’s sake ...”	begged the jeep driver	“For God’s sake” shows a very urgent request. So “said to” becomes “begged”, and “For God’s sake” is dropped.
To + verb	take	to take	A request is reported with “to” + verb after the person.
Pronoun change	me, my	her, her	The speaker is Ms Fernandes, so “me” and “my” both become “her”.
Tense change	gets	got	“Gets” is in the simple present. The simple present is formed with the base form (V1), or V1 + s / es with he, she, it. After the past “said” it becomes the simple past “got”. The simple past is formed with the past form of the verb (V2).
Full sentence	Ms Fernandes said to the jeep driver, “For God’s sake, take me back to my hotel before it gets dark.”	Ms Fernandes begged the jeep driver to take her back to her hotel before it got dark.

“Implored” is used in the same way, and a begging “don’t” becomes “not to”. Example: Tina said to her father, “Please, please don’t sell my bicycle.” → Tina begged her father not to sell her bicycle.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: Ms Fernandes begged to the jeep driver to take her back to her hotel before it got dark. — Incorrect. “Beg” takes the person straight after it, with no “to”: “begged the jeep driver”.

Option 3: Ms Fernandes begged the jeep driver to take her back to her hotel before it gets dark. — Incorrect. The present “gets” is kept. After the past “said” it must become “got”.

Option 4: Ms Fernandes begged the jeep driver to take me back to my hotel before it got dark. — Incorrect. “Me” and “my” are not changed. In the report they mean the narrator, but the speaker is Ms Fernandes, so they become “her”.
