UPTET Paper 1 Model Test 1

Concept:In indirect speech, a question changes its tense, pronouns, and nearness words. The reporting verb "said" becomes "asked."Explanation:The direct sentence is a question. The reporting verb "said" changes to "asked."The verb "gave" is Simple Past. In indirect speech, Simple Past becomes Past Perfect "had given."The pronoun "you" (for John) changes to "him."The word "this" shows nearness. It changes to "that" (distance).The question mark is removed. The sentence becomes assertive: subject + verb order.So the correct sentence is: "Philip asked John who had given him that message."Option 1 is wrong because "has given" is Present Perfect, not Past Perfect.Option 2 is wrong because it keeps "this" instead of "that."Option 3 is wrong because it keeps "gave" (Simple Past) instead of "had given."Answer:Option D: Philip asked John who had given him that message.
