She said she ___ her friend for ages. ?
Explanation
In English, when discussing an action that occurred before another point in the past, we use the past perfect tense. This tense is formed with "had" plus the past participle of the verb. In this case, the correct structure would be "hadn't seen." For example, one might say, "She said she hadn't seen her friend for ages," indicating that a significant amount of time has passed since she last saw her friend.
Other options are less appropriate for different reasons:
A) "didn't" implies a refusal or failure to see her friend but lacks the context of time; C) "hasn't seen" suggests relevance to the present, which doesn't suit the past context; D) "doesn't see" is in the present tense and does not fit the past timeframe either.
Thus, while option B as presented is incorrect as "hadn’t see," it is closest to expressing the intended meaning when correctly formed as "hadn’t seen."
