D. He shouted to them to let him go.

Explanation:

  • The original sentence uses direct speech: “‘Let me go'” (present tense imperative).
  • We’re converting it to indirect speech.
  • However, in this case, the tense in the indirect speech doesn’t change because the reporting verb is implied but likely present tense (“shouted”).
  • Here, “shouted” implies giving a strong command, which aligns with the imperative “Let me go” in the direct speech.
  • We keep the verb in the base form (“let him go”) because it’s part of the reported command.
