Answer 1

Answer:

the child requested his father to give him a toy gun.

Answer 2

The correct answer will be The child requested his father to give him a toy gun.

• The given statement in the question is written in direct speech.
• A direct type of speech consists of accurate punctuation marks and quotations.
• Inside the quotation marks, the exact words uttered by the speaker are strung together.
• Contrary to this, in the indirect form of speech, the quotations are removed and the exact words of the speaker are not used in the sentence.
• Therefore, the given sentence gets changed to The child requested his father to give him a toy gun.

Hence, after changing the speech of the sentence, the sentence becomes The child requested his father to give him a toy gun.
