He said to me, "Please be kind and help me."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. He requested me to be kind and help him.
- As the reported speech is in "imperative sentence" we need to make changes according to this. There will be a change in the reporting verb and it will be changed into "requested" as there is "please in the reported speech".
- The inverted comma will be changed into "to".
- "me" will be changed into "him".
As all the rules are followed by the chosen option it will be correct.
