​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Manager asked the Clerk whether he had checked the pending files. The Clerk replied that he had checked the pending files.

Explanation:

The first sentence is interrogative, that's why the reporting verb will be "asked". The verb used in the first sentence is in simple past tense that's why while narrating it will be in past perfect tense. In the second sentence the clerk was replying that's why the reporting verb will be "replied". The same rule of verb will be used in the second sentence.
