Correct Answer: We have being


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The phrase "we have being" contains a grammatical error. The correct form is "we have been". The verb "being" is not appropriate as have is never followed by being. "Have been" is the correct present perfect form followed by the past participle of the main verb to indicate the passive construction of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "We have been arranged the stay for the guests at a hillside resort."
