The correct answers are:

  • Have planned: Since "Scuba divers" is a plural subject, Have planned is the only fitting option.

  • Have: Considering "June Walters and her friend" is a plural subject and the blank space is followed by a verb in simple past form (baked), the root verb have is fitting for both cases.

  • Were: Once again, "Light and heat" is a plural subject, hence the only fitting option is were.
