Correct Answer: Were the books not being read by the children?
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.
The structure of the passive voice in the case of the past continuous negative interrogative sentence is: "Were + plural object + not + being + 'by' followed by the agent of the action?"
Therefore, the sentence in the passive voice is: "Were the books not being read by the children?"
