Rohan- Did you enjoy last night’s party?
Siya- Absolutely! We _______
A) Thought it was high time
B) Were behind the times
C) Had a whale of time
D) Got a hell of a time

Answer 1

Hint: The question states that the speaker or the second person, that is, Siya enjoyed the party. She stated that they all enjoyed the party a lot. So, the option should be chosen which goes well to express the feeling of enjoyment as stated in the question.

 Complete answer:
Let us analyze the given options:
Option A- is an incorrect answer because it is grammatically wrong. The option shows that the speaker imagined the party atmosphere to be enjoyable which means she didn’t enjoy the party in real life. Moreover, high time indicates that she is talking about past the appropriate time.
Option B- is an incorrect answer because it is grammatically wrong. The option indicates that the speaker was past the appropriate time or not talking about the time when the action took place. So, it is irrelevant.
Option C- is the correct answer because it indicates the speaker had a great time. The option means they had enjoyed the time as big as a whale. So, the option is relevant .
Option D- is an incorrect answer because it is grammatically wrong. The option means the time was very unpleasant and the speaker didn’t enjoy the moment enough. They considered the time as hell or not good at all. So, it is irrelevant.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.
