Correct Answer: A letter was being written by Rashi to her husband.


Solution : The correct choice is the first 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 tense is: Singular object + was + being + past participle of the main verb + prepositional phrase.

Therefore, the passive statement would be: "A letter was being written by Rashi to her husband."
