In English grammar, convert the exclamatory question Will none of you help me, spoken by an injured old man, into its correct indirect speech form.

Introduction / Context:
This question tests conversion from direct to indirect speech for an exclamatory yes or no type question in English grammar. The original line shows an injured old man expressing pain and disappointment that nobody is willing to help him. When we change this into reported speech, we must adjust the tense, pronouns, word order, and the reporting verb so that the sense of exclamation and complaint is preserved accurately. Many exam questions use such structures to check whether learners can combine question forms and exclamations correctly in one reported form.

Given Data / Assumptions:

The direct speech sentence is: Will none of you help me.
The speaker is an injured old man, and he is clearly in distress.
The reporting verb in the question is exclaimed which expresses a strong feeling.
Standard rules of indirect speech for questions apply, including backshifting of tense and change of pronouns and word order.
Exactly one of the given options correctly follows these rules while retaining the meaning of complaint and helplessness.

Concept / Approach:
In indirect speech, a direct question usually changes its word order to that of a statement. For a will type future question, the auxiliary will generally becomes would in reported speech. The pronoun you changes according to the new point of view and becomes them, and the pronoun me becomes him to agree with the third person subject old man. Because the reporting verb is exclaimed with pain, we can add an appropriate phrase such as with pain or in despair while still using a that clause instead of a direct question form. Therefore, the correct indirect version is built around the structure subject plus reporting verb plus that plus reported clause in statement order.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Identify the reporting verb and subject in the original sentence: The injured old man exclaimed. Step 2: Remove the quotation marks around the spoken words and convert the question into a statement: none of you will help me. Step 3: Backshift the future auxiliary will to would in reported speech, because the reporting verb is in the past: would help. Step 4: Change pronouns from speaker listener perspective to third person: you becomes them, and me becomes him. Step 5: Join the reporting clause and reported clause using that and optionally keep a phrase that shows strong feeling: exclaimed with pain that none of them would help him.

Verification / Alternative check:
A quick check is to read the indirect sentence and ask whether it naturally answers the question What did the injured old man say. The sentence The injured old man exclaimed with pain that none of them would help him clearly reports his feeling that nobody was willing to help. The tense sequence is correct because would corresponds to will after a past reporting verb. The pronouns match the speaker and listeners correctly. The meaning is preserved without any extra idea being added, so the option is grammatically and semantically sound. Other options either break tense rules or fail to represent the original sense of exclamation and complaint.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Option B uses asked if with will which fails to backshift the tense and weakens the emotional exclamation expressed by exclaimed. Option C says that anyone of them could help him, which changes the meaning to a neutral possibility rather than a complaint that none of them is helping. Option D uses whether someone was helping him, which changes the sense to a question about present action instead of a future oriented plea for help.

Common Pitfalls:
Learners often forget to change the auxiliary will to would in indirect speech when the reporting verb is in the past tense. Another common mistake is to keep question word order after the conjunction that, which is not correct in a reported statement. Many students also ignore the emotional force of exclaimed and replace it with neutral verbs such as said without thinking about meaning. Finally, pronoun changes from you and me to them and him must be handled carefully so that the reported sentence still clearly refers to the same people as the original direct speech.

Final Answer:
The injured old man exclaimed with pain that none of them would help him.
