Explanation
Considered correct because it accurately converts the statement about not finishing homework into indirect speech with the past tense "could not." It effectively combines this statement with the request for help, using "requested to help her" to imply the need for assistance, which, while unconventional, maintains the intended meaning. The overall sentence structure integrates both elements smoothly into indirect speech.
