Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4, i.e. Pushpa said that she had arrived at the workshop an hour before but nothing much was happening there.

  • This option is correct because the tense portrayed is correct, which is past tense, 'had arrived'. The indirect form of words have been used, like 'there'. The third person 'she' has also been used to denote indirect speech.
