Answer 2

Answer:

The teacher prayed that I might get Ist position .

Explanation:

Optative sentences are those which express hope, wish, prayer. These sentences take an exclamation mark either after an interjection or at the end of sentence.

You have to remember these points :-

(1)Understand the mood of sentence, whether it expresses wish, hope or prayer.

(2)If the reported speech starts with the word ‘may’, change it into word ‘prayed’ and omit the verb ‘said’.

(3)If the reported speech starts with the word ‘would’, replace it with the word ‘wished’ and omit the reporting verb ‘said’, from sentence.

(4)The word ‘May’ is changed into ‘Might’.

(5)Mark of exclamation is replaced with full stop.

(6)The form of sentence is changed from exclamatory into assertive.
