Correct Answer: She requested her to pay attention to the details.


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Indirect speech conveys a report of something that was said or written rather than the exact words that were spoken or written.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • The reporting verb "said" is changed to "requested" because the sentence is an imperative sentence.
  • The preposition "to" is used, followed by the infinitive form of the verb.
  • There would be no change in the pronouns.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "She requested her to pay attention to the details."
