Correct Answer: A severe locust outbreak in Rajasthan and Gujarat is being witnessed by the country.


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 voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive sentence in the present continuous tense is, additional information + object in active voice + is + being + past participle form of the main verb + by + subject in active voice.

Therefore, the sentence in the passive voice: A severe locust outbreak in Rajasthan and Gujarat is being witnessed by the country.
