Explanation: In sentence 2 the use of "When has he called?" is incorrect as the past simple tense should be used when referring to a specific time in the past. In sentence 3, the past perfect tense is not necessary as the sequence of events is clear without it. In sentence 6, the past simple tense should be used to refer to a specific time in the past when the book was published.
