    Explanation
    The correct answer is 've had, have had. This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is formed by using the auxiliary verb "have" or "has" followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, "have" is contracted to "'ve" in the first person singular and plural. Therefore, the correct forms are "I've had" and "have had."

  • 10.

    's been,has been
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 's been, has been. The use of "has been" indicates that the person has visited Japan at some point in the past and the action is still relevant to the present. The use of "'s been" is a contraction of "has been" and is commonly used in spoken English. Both options convey the same meaning, but "'s been" is more informal.
