Both sentences expressing the same issue in the same context use difference tense?

Hello teachers,

I'm reading a paragraph below in the book STARTER TOEIC. The green is in the simple tense. The blue is in the pass tense. I do not understand why do the both sentences expressing the same issue in the same context use difference tenses?

Please tell me the reasons. Thank you so much.

which specific instance is being fererred to

Hi everyone!

I am wondering if the word "which" is a relative pronoun in the way it it used in the following sentence:

1.-They do not know which specific instance is being fererred to.
The usage of "which" in this sentence is not familiar to me.

Is "which" a determiner?

Consider these sentences (relative usage of "what") :

2.-I do not know what it is.
3.-I do not know what you mean.
4.-I do not know what you want.
5.-Bring me what you´ve written!

Can I use "what" instead of "which" in the first sentence?
