________ the news? (you, see)

Explanation
The question is asking for the correct word to fill in the blank. The correct answer is "have you seen." This is because the question is in the present perfect tense, which requires the auxiliary verb "have" followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "see," and its past participle is "seen." Therefore, "have you seen" is the correct form to use in this question.
