1."walked"(c)
After 'having,' use the past participle. 'Having walked all day' shows a completed action (walking) that caused the result (exhaustion).
2."heard"(d)
After 'having,' use the past participle. 'Having heard' means we heard about it first, then decided to take a different route.
3."lost"(b)
After 'having,' use the past participle. 'Having lost his keys' shows the completed action that caused the problem.
4."studied"(c)
'Not having studied' is the negative form of the perfect participle. Place 'not' before 'having.' The failure to study (completed state) explains her nervousness.
5."warned"(d)
'Having been warned' is the passive perfect participle. They were warned (passive) before they decided to cancel. Structure: having been + past participle.
