Fill in the blank with the correct option:He _ on a very extraordinary ambition.
Correct answer: D. hit
- A. arrived
- B. decided
- C. came
- D. hit
Explanation
To "hit" on something means to "do" something which fits most appropriately here. To "arrive" on something means either "to come to an end" for example like "we arrive on a conclusion" or "to physically end the journey" both of which do not apply here. To "come on" something means either means "sexual advance" or "something intended to persuade or allure" like you when you say someone to "Come on" when they have already refused. To "decide" something means "when you intend to do something".This doesn't fit in the question above.
