Correct Answer: The manager said to his team, "Let us postpone the meeting until all of you have the information required."
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
In the original indirect narration, "The manager suggested to his team that they postpone the meeting until all of them had the information required," the verb "suggested" is used, indicating that the manager is making a suggestion rather than giving a direct order.
- In the direct narration, we change the verb to "said" to convey the directness of the statement.
- Additionally, the pronoun "us" is used in the direct narration to replace the original pronoun "his team," making the sentence more direct and natural in spoken language.
Therefore, the correct answer will be: The manager said to his team, "Let us postpone the meeting until all of you have the information required."
