Welcome to the forum, siyal. :hi:

We like to help when we can, but we don't help with homework assignments, which is what this appears to be. Your teachers want to know what you can do, not what we can do.

Thanks for the reply.

Let me clarify it was not a homework assignment at all. Actually I am preparing for an upcoming test and while attempting past papers I found these sentences confusing. This is why I posted them here thinking I might get some help in this regard.

OK. Here is my opinion on one
1. Have you seen her latest photograph? This is ambiguous (did she take the photograph or did somebody take the photograph of her?) but it's not 'incorrect'.
