Choose the sentence in which the request is expressed with the most grammatically appropriate and contextually precise structure.
I requested him to submit the report before noon.
The verb 'request' can correctly take the pattern 'request + object + to-infinitive,' as in 'requested him to submit.'
'Requested him that he should submit' unnecessarily mixes a that-clause with an object pronoun, producing a clumsy and non-standard structure.
'Requested that him submit' is grammatically incorrect since the subjunctive clause requires the subject form 'he,' not 'him.'
'Requested to him to submit' wrongly inserts the preposition 'to' before the object, which is not standard usage with 'request.'
Therefore, the grammatically correct sentence is 'I requested him to submit the report before noon.'
