We ______ understood anything. Can you explain it again next class?

• have

• can't

• haven't

• didn't

Answer explanation

'can't' and 'didn't' are incorrect because we use a verb in the infinitive without to after them (e.g. I can't sleep/I didn't eat). In the sentence, we have 'anything', which means we have to use a negative (haven't).
