Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

Option 1: The newspaper is being read by my father.
Option 2: The newspaper happens to be read by my father.
Option 3: The newspaper was being read by my father.
Option 4: My father likes reading the newspaper.
Correct Answer: The newspaper is being read by my father.
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 acts. 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 present continuous tense is: " Singular object + is + being + past participle form of the verb + 'by' followed by the agent of the action."
Therefore, the sentence in passive voice is: The newspaper is being read by my father.
