The correct answer is "Have, have, yet". The first blank should be filled with "Have" because it matches the tense of "I've already watched" in the previous sentence. The second blank should be filled with "have" again because it matches the tense of "Have you seen it" in the following sentence. The word "yet" is used to ask if the person has seen the film at any time up until now.

The correct answer is "started" as it fits logically in the sentence and completes the meaning by indicating the onset of coughing.
