ANSWER is option D.
Because if you think about it, the Atlantic is a vast distance, but a puddle really isnt. So comparing such a large distance (the Atlantic) to such a small one (puddle) is understatement.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

He asked me if I was hungry.

He asked me what I was doing.

He asked me when he went to school.

He asked me where I spent my holidays.

He asked me what the time was then.

Explanation:

Reported speech is when we tell someone what another person had told us. This retelling or exchange of information to a third party is given in the reporter form, or in the indirect speech.

The verbs and tenses in the reported speech will be changed according to the tenses in the first speech. So, supposing the initial sentence is in the simple present tense, then the reported speech will be in the simple past tense. Likewise, if the original speech is in the present perfect, then the reporting speech will be in the past perfect tense.

"Are you hungry?" He asked me if I was hungry. 

"What are you doing now?" He asked me what I was doing. 

"When does he go to school?" He asked me when he went to school. 

"Where did you spend your holidays?" He asked me where I spent my holidays. 

"What time is it now?" He asked me what the time was then.
