    Reference explanation:

    Correct answer:

    Knowledge: Present perfect tense

    Explain:

    Usage: the present perfect describes an event that started in the past, is still related or has a result in the present, without mentioning when the action happened.

    Usually used with: for + time period / since + time point.

    Synonymous structure: S + last + V-past simple + time period + ago: The last time someone did something was….

    = S + haven’t / hasn’t + P2 + for + time: How long has it been since someone has been doing nothing

    => He last saw her two weeks ago.

    A. He didn’t see her two weeks ago. => wrong meaning (2 weeks ago met)

    B. He saw her for two weeks. => wrong meaning

    C. He hasn’t seen her for two weeks. (2 weeks ago, we met, but we haven’t seen each other since 2 weeks)

    D. He’s been seeing her for two weeks. => wrong meaning

    Choose C.
