Resolução comentada
Escolha de tempos verbais no texto sobre a Netflix.
'Has started' liga o início da repressão ao presente, 'has already been trialed' é presente perfeito passivo, e 'lost' é passado simples porque o período dos 'primeiros três meses do ano' está fechado. 'Had previously estimated' indica ação anterior ao passado e 'has 233 million' é estado presente.
Análise das alternativas
A) 'is already trialed' não é uma forma passiva correta. B) 'starts' e 'had been trialed' não combinam com o contexto. C) 'was already trialed' e 'has previously estimated' ficam incoerentes. E) 'has lost' e 'has had' não se encaixam nos contextos.
Referência: Tempos verbais em inglês: present perfect e past simple.
