I have ten questions to complete, I have managed to do seven of them, but am struggling with these three. I am finding Reported Speech questions quite difficult. Thanks.

2. "What kind of Ice cream do you want?" the waitress asked us.
The waitress asked us ________

3. "Why does it take a long time to travel to the moon?" Amy asked me.
