Correct Answer: The dictation was being noted down by the secretary.
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 sentence in the case of the past continuous tense is: " Singular object + was being + past participle form of the verb + by followed by the agent of the action."
Therefore, the sentence in the passive voice is: The dictation was being noted down by the secretary.
