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?

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?
