Correct Answer: A letter was being written by Sudha 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 form of the main verb + prepositional phrase."

Therefore, the correct passive voice would be: "A letter was being written to her husband by Sudha."
