Aadya said to Aarush, “The old house at the end of the street, the one with the broken fence, always gives me the creeps.”
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'the broke fence' में 'broken' का backshift (काल परिवर्तन) प्रतीत हुआ। किंतु backshift मुख्य क्रिया का होता है, और यहाँ 'broken' विशेषण है जो वैसा ही रहता है।'the broke fence' looked like a backshift of 'broken'; but backshift applies to the main verb, and 'broken' here is an adjective that stays.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'always given' backshift (काल परिवर्तन) के बाद past participle (भूत कृदंत) जैसा प्रतीत हुआ। किंतु simple present (सामान्य वर्तमान काल) 'gives' का simple past (सामान्य भूत काल) 'gave' बनता है, 'given' नहीं।'always given' looked like a past participle after backshift; but simple present 'gives' becomes simple past 'gave', not 'given'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'always had given' में दो बार backshift (काल परिवर्तन) हुआ। किंतु simple present (सामान्य वर्तमान काल) केवल एक बार पीछे जाता है, अर्थात् 'gave'।'always had given' backshifted twice; but a simple present steps back only once, to 'gave'.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) Aadya told Aarush that the old house at the end of the street, the one with the broken fence, always gave her the creeps.
उद्धरण का सर्वनाम me वक्ता Aadya के लिए है, इसलिए वह her बनता है। काल (Tense) भी एक कदम पीछे जाता है: gives से gave।
✓
Aadya told Aarush that the old house at the end of the street, the one with the broken fence, always gave her the creeps.
सरल अर्थ: आद्या ने आरुष से कहा कि गली के अंत में टूटी बाड़ वाला पुराना घर उसे हमेशा डरावना लगता है।
The pronoun me in the quote stands for the speaker, Aadya, so it becomes her. The tense also steps back: gives becomes gave.

Aadya told Aarush that the old house at the end of the street, the one with the broken fence, always gave her the creeps.
