Option 4 : No improvement

The correct answer is 'No improvement'

According to grammar, 'for a long time' means 'to describe something that has existed or been a particular thing for a long time.' Hence, this activity has been started in the past and still exists in.
So, use the present perfect tense.
Let's see an example-
- He hasn't watched TV for a long time.

So the correct sentence is- We have been away for a long time, you know, and so we're anxious to get home again.
