Explanation

Kylie Minogue is known for her successful and long-lasting career as a singer. The phrase "no one has sung to more people at the same time" suggests that she has performed in front of large audiences, reaching a vast number of people with her music. The use of "has sung" indicates that this is an ongoing action that has happened in the past and continues to happen in the present.

6.  I was the biggest-selling single in the U.K. that year and a big hit in the U.S. "A new star ______ (6) arrived," the newspapers said.   

Explanation

The correct answer is "has." The sentence is referring to a new star that arrived, indicating that the star is currently present. Therefore, the present tense form of "have" is not suitable as it implies possession or ownership. Similarly, the past tense form of "had" is not appropriate as it suggests that the star arrived in the past and is no longer present. Therefore, "has" is the correct choice as it indicates that the star is currently present.
