I took the liberty to correct your typing. The original question does not have the verb "is" after the word "brother". The way you typed it, none of the options would be correct. The proper question is this one:

<em>Which sentence is punctuated correctly? </em>

<em>A) My brother a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>B) My brother, a truck driver spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>D) My brother, a truck, driver spends a great deal of time on the road.</em>

<em />

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is option C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road. The structure "a truck driver" is an appositive. That means its function in this sentence is to give further information or an explanation about something that was just mentioned - in this case, the word brother. The speaker is explaining that his/her brother spends a lot of time on the road because he is a truck driver. Appositives should come between commas. That's why option C is the right one.

Ex.5. Rewrite the questions in reported speech. "Are you hungry?" He asked me _______ . "What are you doing now?" He asked me __
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

He asked me <u>if I was hungry</u>.

He asked me <u>what I was doing</u>.

He asked me <u>when he went to school</u>.

He asked me <u>where I spent my holidays</u>.

He asked me <u>what the time was then</u>.

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.

<em>"Are you hungry?" He asked me </em><em><u>if I was hungry</u></em><em>. </em>

<em>"What are you doing now?" He asked me </em><em><u>what I was doing</u></em><em>. </em>

<em>"When does he go to school?" He asked me </em><em><u>when he went to school</u></em><em>. </em>

<em>"Where did you spend your holidays?" He asked me </em><em><u>where I spent my holidays</u></em><em>. </em>

<em>"What time is it now?" He asked me </em><em><u>what the time was then</u></em><em>.</em>
