Pick out the correct sentence in indirect narration of the following sentence:
She said to him, "Please wait here till I return"
Correct Option: 2
- Option 1 changes the person from 'him' to 'her', which is incorrect.
- Option 2 correctly shifts from direct to indirect speech without changing the original meaning or subjects involved.
- Option 3 incorrectly mixes tenses; 'returns' should be 'returned' to match the original past tense.
- Option 4 incorrectly uses 'requests' in present tense and complicates the tense further with 'had returned'.
