Amanda has been making pottery since she was just a child. (Аманда занимается изготовлением керамики с самого детства.) Her father taught her the craft when she was four and it has been her hobby since then. (Отец научил её этому ремеслу, когда ей было четыре года, и с тех пор это её хобби.) Two years ago, Amanda and her father decided to turn their hobby into a career by opening a café where customers paint their own pottery while enjoying a drink. (Два года назад Аманда и её отец решили превратить своё хобби в профессию, открыв кафе, где посетители расписывают собственные керамические изделия, наслаждаясь напитком.) At first, they weren’t having many customers, but recently the café has become quite popular. (Сначала у них было немного посетителей, но в последнее время кафе стало довольно популярным.) Today Amanda is especially happy because customers have been coming in all day. (Сегодня Аманда особенно рада, потому что посетители приходят весь день.) Everyone who has been to the café says they have enjoyed it very much. (Все, кто побывал в кафе, говорят, что им там очень понравилось.) It looks as if the business has turned out to be a success after all. (Похоже, в конце концов бизнес оказался успешным.)

В № 8 среди напечатанных вариантов нет грамматически подходящего варианта: в предложении должно быть has been («побывал»), но такого варианта в списке нет. Вариант has come (c) тоже грамматически возможен, если имеется в виду, что человек приходил в кафе.
