«El guía advirtió: «No se alejen del sendero principal».
En estilo indirecto: «El guía nos advirtió que no nos _____ del sendero principal».

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. alejáramos

Analysis: An imperative order in reported speech in the past ('advirtió que no...') converts to the imperfect subjunctive ('alejáramos'). Answer: alejáramos. Why not the others: 'alejamos' is present indicative; 'alejaríamos' is conditional; 'alejemos' is present subjunctive.
