Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> He requested that we be quiet since the children were sleeping.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Here, reporting verbs 'requested' and 'asked' show that the subject is politely asking for something and not ordering or evaluating.
