A questão pede para assinalar as frases que apresentam o uso correto do tempo verbal Present Perfect:
1) I've answered all the questions. —> ação que aconteceu em dado momento do passado, não importa quando. -> Present perfect.
2) He has stayed in that position for half an hour. —> ação que aconteceu em dado momento do passado, não importa quando. -> Present perfect.
3) Jane's writen a book. — Jane's written a book. —> ação que aconteceu em dado momento do passado, não importa quando. -> Present perfect.
A frase está errada porque falta um T em "written".
4) The writer has written a new book last year. — The writer wrote a new book last year. —> ação que ocorreu pontualmente no passado; tempo definido -> Simple past.
5) Lice has been a problem to mankind for years. — Lice have been a problem to mankind for years. —> ação que começou no passado e ocorre até hoje -> Present perfect.
A frase está errada porque o verbo auxiliar não concorda com o substantivo lice, que está no plural (corresponde à they ~> they have).
6) Some thieves have robbed the bank a week ago. — Some thieves robbed the bank a week ago. —> ação que ocorreu pontualmente no passado; tempo definido -> Simple past.
7) My men has slept for five hours. — My man has slept for five hours. / My men have slept for five hours. —> ação que começou no passado e ocorre até hoje -> Present perfect.
A frase está errada porque o verbo auxiliar não concorda com o substantivo (seria necessário passar o substantivo do plural para o singular [my men has ~> my man has] ou manter o substantivo e mudar o verbo auxiliar [my men has ~> my men have]).
