Correct Answer: I requested my brother not to disturb me.
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- The reporting verb "said" is changed to "requested" to emphasise the imperative nature of the sentence.
- The phrase "do not" is changed to "not to".
- We would use the "to + infinitive" form in the indirect speech in case of the imperative sentence.
Therefore, the indirect form would be: " I requested my brother not to disturb me. "
