Correct Answer: ever spoke


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

In English, the present perfect tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb have (or has, depending on the subject) along with the past participle form of the main verb.

The correct past participle of the verb speak is spoken when used with auxiliary verbs like have.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Have you ever spoken to anyone about your problems?"
