Почему так

• Present Perfect: \(have/has + V_3\). Важен результат, количество, опыт или слова already, just, yet, never.
• Present Perfect Continuous: \(have/has + been + V_{ing}\). Важен процесс, длительность или повторение действия до настоящего момента.
• Глаголы состояния — see, hear, know, have (в значении «иметь»), be — обычно не ставятся в Continuous.

В номерах 1, 3, 11, 12, 14 — состояния или опыт, поэтому Present Perfect. В номерах 2, 4, 8, 9, 13 — процесс или повторение. В 5, 6, 7, 10 — результат, количество или yet.
