22)Incorrect: He is hardly hit by the bank's failure.
Incorrect: He is hardly hit by the bankrupt.
Correct: He was hardly hit by the failure of the bank.
Hit: is usually in past tense.

Hey,

Can someone verify the use of hardly hit in this sentence. I am a little confused about its usage. I think it should be hit hard.

I'd like to revise my correction: He was hit hard by the failure of the bank.

I've made a mistake in a tense:
14) Incorrect: He always had hatred against inefficiency.
Incorrect: He always has hatred against inefficiency.
Revised Correction: He had always hated inefficiency.
** I am not sure about this correction.**
