Fill up the blank with proper tense form of the verbs given as options.
I never __________ (see) a tiger before.
Answer: A
The answer is have seen: I never have seen a tiger before, more usually I have never seen a tiger before.
The sentence describes the speaker's experience up to the present moment, which calls for the present perfect. Before here means 'before now', the typical time frame of the present perfect.
Had seen (past perfect) would need a past reference point, as in I had never seen a tiger before that day. Seen alone is a participle and cannot be the verb, and saw (simple past) does not express experience up to now in standard British usage.
