Model Answer
he had spent all the money his father had given him the previous day.
Explanation
The blank requires reported speech for the son's reply "All the money father gave me yesterday." Key changes: pronoun "father" → "his father", "gave" → "had given" (past perfect), "yesterday" → "the previous day", and add "he had spent" as the main verb since the original implies spending. The reporting verb "said" is already given in the stem.
