Explanation:
* Present Perfect Tense: Used to describe actions that started in the past and continue to the present or have a result in the present.
* 'For' is used to indicate a duration of time (e.g., for five years).
* 'Since' is used to indicate a specific point in time when an action started (e.g., since 2010).
* Sentence 1: 'for more than ten years' indicates a duration, so 'for' is used. The present perfect of 'offer' is 'have offered'.
* Sentence 2: '2002' is a specific point in time, so 'since' is used. The present perfect of 'change' is 'has changed'.
* Sentence 3: 'the last five years' indicates a duration, so 'for' is used. The present perfect of 'always prepare' is 'have always prepared'.
* Sentence 4: '2010' is a specific point in time, so 'since' is used. The present perfect of 'even ask' is 'have not even asked'. We also add 'not' to indicate they haven't asked the reporters.
