Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Identify the tense used in each option.

    The exercise tests the correct use of present perfect tense (have/has + past participle), especially with time expressions like "since."

    Option 1: She ___ breakfast whatever
    Formula: Present perfect would be "has eaten," but "breakfast whatever" is incomplete/awkward (likely meant for present simple habit: "eats"). Incorrect.

    Option 2: They have ___ vase home
    Formula: Possession uses present simple "have a/the vase at home." "Home" needs "at." Incorrect for present perfect.

    Option 3: He has broken the vase
    Formula: has + broken (past participle). Correct for present perfect (action completed, result now relevant). Possible, but no specific time marker requiring it.

    Option 4: I have known him since infancy
    Formula: have + known (past participle). Correct for present perfect. "Since" requires present perfect for duration from past to present ("I knew... since" would be wrong).

    Option 5: Have you ___ your lost find
    Formula: Question form present perfect: "found." But "lost find" is unclear phrasing (perhaps "lost-and-found"?). Awkward.

  2. Select the best.

    Option 4 perfectly matches present perfect with "since" for ongoing state.

    4) I have known him since infancy
