व्याकरण विश्लेषण व नियम:
दिलेले वाक्य: *'He said, "Let's leave the case at the station".'*
'Let's' ने सुरू होणाऱ्या प्रस्तावाचे (Proposal / Suggestion) Indirect रूपांतर:
`Subject + suggested + V-ing (Gerund) + Object`
`Subject + suggested / proposed that they/we should + V1...`
त्यामुळे पर्याय १ हा व्याकरणदृष्ट्या सर्वमान्य व अचूक पर्याय आहे.
'suggest' या क्रियापदानंतर कधीही `to + V1` येत नाही (*suggested to leave* हा चुकीचा प्रयोग आहे). 'suggest' नंतर थेट V-ing येते (उदा. *He suggested going for a walk / suggested leaving the case*).
Correct Answer: Option 1 (He suggested leaving the case at the station.)
Grammatical Analysis & Reporting Proposals with 'Let's':
Given Direct Speech: *'He said, "Let's leave the case at the station".'*
Rules for Reporting 'Let's' Suggestions:
`Subject + suggested + Gerund (V-ing) + Object`
`Subject + suggested that they / we should + base verb`
Hence, Option 1 is the only correct sentence.
Crucial rule tested repeatedly:
The verb *suggest* takes a gerund (`suggested + V-ing`) or a that-clause (`suggested that they should...`). It NEVER takes a to-infinitive (`suggested to go` is WRONG).
