"They claimed it was neither the time nor the place for that, and asked for help."

If the subject is known, you want to use the personal pronoun (he/she) accordingly.

Good! I do wonder, however, if OP meant you to report his plea for help, or just respond to it. :) – Conrado Apr 21 '20 at 21:23
@Conrado The OP means "reported speech", and that's it. – Centaurus Apr 21 '20 at 21:25
True, but it says: "the following sentence"-a single object. I thought you were being facetious. – Conrado Apr 21 '20 at 21:29
