SAT spot the error grammar question?

Question

From AD 600 to 1700, sculptors [created] [nearly] 1,000 colossal rock statues on the [remote] and tiny Easter Island. [no error]

should there be a [have] in front of [created]

Answer 1

NO.

It's past definite. The action occurred and is completely over, so present perfect tense would be incorrect.

Answer 2

Doesnt matter it sounds good to me either way..

Answer 3

there is no "have" needed.

Answer 4

I'd say you are safe either way.

But, I think you should probably put the (have).

It sounds better that way too...

Hope I helped, and sorry if I'm wrong!!  : )
