Conceptual

Pick out the correct sentence in indirect narration of the following sentence:

He said, "Let us wait for the award."

Correct Option: 2
  1. 'He proposed him to wait for the award.' is grammatically incorrect as 'him' does not fit the collective suggestion 'us' from the direct speech.
  2. 'He proposed that they should wait for the award.' correctly shifts from the direct suggestion 'us' to an indirect 'they' and maintains the proper proposal format.
  3. 'He agreed to wait for the award with him.' changes the meaning from a proposal to an agreement, which isn't accurate.
  4. 'He proposed me that I should wait for the award.' is grammatically awkward and misaligns the subjects from the original speech.
