1. 1.b) have finished The result matters now (can I go out?), and no finished time is given.
2. 2.a) has worked Since March connects the past to now: she still works here.
3. 3.b) Have you ever eaten Ever asks about life experience up to now.
4. 4.b) have known For ten years + still friends: the situation continues now.
5. 5.a) did you buy When? asks for a finished time, so it always takes the Past Simple.

1. 1.I saw him yesterday. Yesterday is a finished time, so the Present Perfect can't be used.
2. 2.I have lived here since 2020. Since links a past start to now, so the Present Perfect is needed.
3. 3.When did you arrive? When? asks for a finished time. It always takes the Past Simple.
