Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. The man called upon heaven to witness his resolve that he would never lie again.
Given sentence: “So help me heaven!”, the man cried, “I shall never lie again."
In indirect speech, we need to remove commas and inverted commas, and the conjunction 'that' is added.
The first and third-person pronouns are changed according to the pronoun of the reporting verb. So, 'I' is changed to 'he'.
'shall' is changed to 'would'.
So, the final sentence is:
The man called upon heaven to witness his resolve that he would never lie again.
