The words in brackets are missing, so the exact full answers cannot be completed.

But the rule is:

• for is used for a period of time: for three days, for two years.
• ago is used for a finished moment in the past: three days ago, two years ago.

So the pattern is:

• 3. Linda and Frank have been married for ...
• 4. Linda and Frank got married ... ago.
• 5. Dan arrived ... ago.
• 6. We had lunch ... ago.
• 7. Silvia has been learning English for ...
• 8. Have you known Lisa for ...?
• 9. I bought these shoes ... ago.
