A grammar question

Hi,
I'm having a problem right now with this confusing and complicated grammar question.
Q1. "Never in my life_________I seen such a beautiful rainbow!" Aunt Susie exclaimed in delight.
In the blank, should it be " had" or " have " and what's the difference between them?

Anonymous In the blank, should it be " had" or " have " and what's the difference between them? The test writer probably thinks that 'have' is the only answer, but either could go in the blank. 'Have' refers to a period from some time in the past to now.
