Correct Answer: He will tell me that he will help me.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Reported speech involves converting direct speech (spoken words) into indirect speech (reported words).

Narration Conversion:

  • The verb "say" in direct speech is changed to the reporting verb "tell".
  • The pronouns "you" and "I" are changed to "he" and "me" to reflect the change in reported speech.
  • The verb "will help" remains unchanged, as the tense remains unchanged.
  • The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He will tell me that he will help me.
