Answer 2

Answer:

1. Joshua suggested Rick that they should go out for a tennis game.

Explanation:

• When a sentence of direct speech with the word 'let' is to be changed into indirect speech, terms such as 'suggested' or 'proposed' are to be used.
• In this sentence, Joshua suggests that they both should go out to watch a game of tennis.
• Options 2 and 3 are incorrect because these suggest that Rick should go for a game of tennis without Joshua.
• As a result, the meaning completely changes.

Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer.
