We ......... so many friends on our previous

[Volcano1985]

We ........... so many friends on our previous visit to the pyramids and we .......... to each other since.

A) have made / write
B) make / are writing
C) will make / will write
D) are making / write
E) had made / have been writing

Key is E, shouldn't it be have made or made / have been writing?

It could be made, but not have made- they are still friends, but you are no longer making them and the visit has finished.

had made correct?

had made correct?

If the only context is that one sentence, no. You could say, for example 'On earlier visits we had made many friends, and were still writing to them regularly.'

I can't imagine any circumstances in which it could be right. Perhaps some other teacher wil manage where I've failed.
