The correct answer is: had visited

Key Points

  • The sentence is in the past tense, indicating that the family's visits to Europe happened before the man stopped working with the international educational agency.
  • "Had visited" is the past perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that happened before another action in the past.
    • FormSubject + "had" + past participle (v3 form of the verb).
    • For example- After he had finished his work, he went for a walk.
  • In this case, the family's visits to Europe happened before the man stopped working with the agency.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

Corrected sentenceThe family had visited many parts of Europe when the man was working with an international educational agency.

Additional Information

  • "are visited" is in the present tense and does not match the past tense of the sentence.
  • "have visit" is the present perfect tense, which is also incorrect.
  • "has visiting" is a present continuous tense, which is not appropriate for past action.
