Correct Answer: Ramayana was being watched by the family on the TV.


Solution : The correct answer 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 past continuous tense is, object + was + being + past participle form of the main verb + by + agent of the action .

Therefore, the sentence in the passive voice: Ramayana was being watched by the family on the TV.
