The verb they've given you is wrong; you need to find the correct form of it.
Present: Speak.
Past: Spoke.
Past participle: Spoken.
I speak, I spoke, I have spoken.
If it's used with a helping verb such as 'have', it's likely a past participle. The appropriate word here is 'spoken'.
thank you very much do you think you can help me with the rest
First, let's turn the sentence around to make it a statement.
You have (speak) to anyone about your vacation plans.
Since there's a helping verb, have, you need to use the past participle of speak.
The sentence should be --
Have you spoken to anyone about your vacation plans.

To determine which form of the verb is needed in the given sentence, you need to identify the tense and subject of the sentence.
In this sentence, the subject is "you" and the verb is "have." The verb "have" is an auxiliary (helping) verb, which means there will be another verb following it.
The verb that follows "have" is "(speak)." Since we are dealing with the present perfect tense (have + past participle), we need to use the past participle form of the verb "speak."
The past participle form of "speak" is "spoken." Therefore, the correct form to write on the line is "spoken."
To identify the form you used, you would write "past participle" on the line.
