Bidding farewell to me, my juniors said to me, “Wish you a bright and successful career ahead.”
The correct answer is Bidding farewell to me, my juniors said to me, “Wish you a bright and successful career ahead.”.
Additional Information Option 1 is incorrect because it uses the word 'inquiry' which implies a question or an investigation, rather than a statement of well wishes. Option 2 is incorrect because it states that the juniors said the farewell to themselves, rather than directly addressing the speaker. Option 4 is incorrect because it places the spoken words after 'wish me' which is grammatically incorrect. The correct structure should be 'said to me' or something similar to indicate the speech act.
