In this question, fill each gap with the most appropriate option from the list provided. We are all hungry; we …… anything to eat since morning.
Explanation
“Since morning” tells us the hunger started in the past and still continues now. For that we use the present perfect tense: haven’t had.
“Didn’t have” and “never had” are simple past, which does not link to the present. “Hadn’t had” is past perfect and needs another past event.
