Consider the reaction: BF3 + F- -> BF4-
Can this ever be considered to be an acid-base reaction? Support your answer with appropriate arguments.

Please explain in details.

No. Definitely not. An acid base reaction by definition has an exchange of H+ ions. There are no H+ ions there so it could not possibly alter the Ph of any aqueous solution that it was in.
