This question tests your understanding of changing direct speech into indirect (reported) speech. The key rules involve changes in pronouns, tenses, and sometimes time/place expressions.

  • Option B is correct because it correctly applies these rules: 'I' changes to 'he' (referring to the original speaker), 'want' (present simple) changes to 'wanted' (past simple), and 'your' changes to 'her' (referring to the person spoken to).
  • Option A is incorrect as it fails to change the pronoun 'I' and the tense 'want', which are essential for indirect narration.
  • Option C incorrectly changes the pronoun to 'she', altering the subject of the desire to meet.
  • Option D introduces 'might meet', which is a change in modality (possibility) not present in the original statement's direct intent.
