Correct Answer: The stag was being trailed by the tigress.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person performing the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence 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 action .

Therefore, the sentence in the passive form is: The stag was being trailed by the tigress.
