Correct Answer: She requested him to fill in that form.
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- The reporting verb " said to" is changed to "requested" to emphasise the imperative (request) nature of the sentence
- The verb (fill) is changed to "to + infinitive form" (to fill) in the case of the imperative sentence.
- There would be no change in the pronouns.
- "This" is changed to "that" in the indirect speech.
Hence, the correct answer is: " She requested him to fill in that form ."
