e) had hit<\/p>\n

Answer: Option b) has been hit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Explanation<\/h3>\n

Option a) has hit<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Has hit\u2019 is in the active voice. Here the preposition \u2018by\u2019 clearly indicates that a passive verb is required.<\/p>\n

Option b) has been hit<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the correct answer. The high rentals in the area have hit Mumbai Port Trust\u2019s decision to setup a hotel. When we convert that idea into the passive voice, we use the verb \u2018has been hit\u2019.<\/p>\n

Option c) is being hit<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the passive form of the active verb \u2018is\/are hitting\u2019. It is not possible here because we are not talking about an ongoing situation.<\/p>\n

Option d) have been hit<\/strong><\/p>\n

The word \u2018plan\u2019 is a singular noun and hence have is not possible here.<\/p>\n

Option e) had hit<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Had hit\u2019 is in the active voice. We require a passive verb here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
