He said to interviewer, "Could you please repeat the question?"

A. He requested the interviewer if he could please repeat the question.

B. He requested the interviewer to please repeat the question.

C. He requested the interviewer to repeat the question.

D. He requested the interviewer if he could repeat the question.

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

In direct and indirect speech, when we report someone's request, we often use the verb "requested" followed by an indirect request. The structure of indirect speech for requests is typically: "requested + [indirect request]."

In this case, the original sentence is a polite request: "Could you please repeat the question?"

The correct indirect speech transformation is: "He requested the interviewer to repeat the question."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: He requested the interviewer to repeat the question. This option accurately conveys the original request in indirect speech without unnecessary additions or alterations.

    I think option D would be the right because the thing is that the direct form of speech is in s or no
    Form , as it is we must use a transitive interjunction if / whether
