«El profesor advirtió: «Entreguen los exámenes sobre mi mesa».
En estilo indirecto: «El profesor nos ordenó que _____ los exámenes sobre su mesa».

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. entregáramos

Analysis: An imperative directive reported in the past ('ordenó que') shifts to imperfect subjunctive ('entregáramos'). Answer: entregáramos. Why not the others: 'entregamos' is indicative; 'entregaríamos' is conditional; 'entreguemos' is present subjunctive.
