<p>Could someone please explain the right answer please? thanks a lot</p>

<p>Is the correct answer D?</p>

<p>I would say D because unlike any other option, it has the word “been” in it. “Been” logically connects the first part of the sentence to the last part. I’m no writing whiz, and my explanations aren’t great, so I’ll explain it this way.</p>

<p>Let’s get rid of the part that is in between the comas. Our sentence should make perfect sense without the phrase in the comas, right? Now, let’s look at every option. The only one that makes a logic sentence after we remove the part in between the comas is D because it forms the sentence “Smoking had not been permitted”. Every other option forms an erroneous sentence.</p>

<p>I think D “sounds” the most correct…</p>

<p>D. Just omit the nonessential phrase (surrounded by commas) and it will leave you with two options. From D and E, D sounds more concise and clear.</p>
