Answer 2

Let's determine the correct variants for the given sentences:

1. "I ___ to the USA so far." a) have not been b) had not been

   The correct answer is: a) have not been

   This sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about actions that started in the past and continue into the present or actions that have relevance to the present. "Have not been" is the correct form in this context.

2. "I never ___ them when I lived in London." a) had met b) have met

   The correct answer is: a) had met

   This sentence is in the past simple tense, and "had met" is the correct form for actions that occurred in the past when you lived in London.
