Model Answer

Bhawna told Sohail that she had finished the project the previous day.

Explanation

The key changes in reported speech here: pronoun "I" → "she", tense "finished" (simple past) stays as simple past (or can shift to past perfect "had finished"), and time adverb "yesterday" → "the previous day". CBSE expects all three changes to be correctly applied in the blank.
