Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A only

The correct answer is Option (1) - A only

The correct answer is A only ✅

Explanation:

• Direct speech: Adesh said, "Please shut the door behind you."

• The word please shows it is a request, so the reporting verb changes to requested.

• Pronouns also need to be adjusted correctly:

  • you (in direct speech) → me (in indirect speech, since Adesh is speaking to me).

So the correct indirect speech is:
Adesh requested me to shut the door behind me.

Why others are wrong:

• B → Incorrect tense and pronoun usage.

• C → Misses the idea of a request.

• D → Grammatically wrong and misuses pronouns.

✅ Final Answer: A only
