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.
