Answer 1

The correct option is D <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> My brother asked me how my cooking classes were going on.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Here, the 'be' verb changes from the present tense 'are' to the past tense verb 'were', and is placed after the subject in reported speech.
