Correct Answer: Ramita said she wished she didn’t have to meet her step-mother.
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
When transforming direct speech into indirect speech, it is important to pay attention to the sequence of tenses.
In this case, the past tense "said" in the direct speech becomes "said" in the indirect speech.
The verb "wish" remains in the past tense, but the construction "didn't have to meet" is used to maintain the correct sequence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Ramita said she wished she didn’t have to meet her stepmother.
