Explanation
When converting direct speech to indirect speech, we need to change the sentence structure to make it a reported request. Here's why option B is correct:- "say" is changed to "request" to indicate that the original sentence was a polite request.- "Please help us" becomes "us to help them" to maintain the correct verb tense and pronoun perspective.
