    D I suggested that let me not jump to a conclusion but wait till I get confirmation of that rumour. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We can see that this is a suggestion, as 'let us' is used. Also, after writing 'suggested', 'let me' shouldn't be used. Hence, option 3 is correct.
