• B. They requested that they might be allowed to come in
• C. They said that if they are allowed to come in
• D. They requested me to let them come in

Answer 1

Answer:

D. They requested me to let them come in

1. "They told that let them be allowed to come in"
2. • This is not grammatically correct. The word "told" doesn’t work well with a request like this.
2. "They requested that they might be allowed to come in"
3. • This option is grammatically correct but quite formal. "Requested" is suitable for a polite request, and "might be allowed" is a formal way to express permission.
3. "They said that if they are allowed to come in"
4. • This is incomplete.
4. "They requested me to let them come in"
5. • "Requested" is the right verb for making a polite request, and "me to let them come in" accurately reflects the direct request made in the original sentence.
