Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
Mary was cooking the meal.
Option 1: The meal were being cooked by Mary.
Option 2: The meal was already being cooked by Mary.
Option 3: Mary was about to cook the meal.
Option 4: The meal was being cooked by Mary.
Correct Answer: The meal was being cooked by Mary.
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth 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 past continuous tense is: Object + was + being + past participle form of the verb + by + agent of action.
Therefore, the sentence in the passive voice is: The meal was being cooked by Mary.
