Correct option is C
The correct option is:
(c) He requested me if I would help him.
Explanation:
· In the direct speech, “Will you please help me?” is a polite request, so in indirect speech, “said to” should change to
requested (or asked politely).
· “Will” changes to
would because of the backshift in reported speech.
· “Please” is dropped in indirect speech, as the politeness is conveyed by using “requested.”
· Option (a) is wrong because “will” should be “would.”
· Option (b) is awkward because “please” is unnecessarily retained and “asked” is less fitting than “requested.”
· Option (d) is wrong because “shall” is incorrect for first person in reported speech here, and the object pronoun “me” at the end should be “him.”
