Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
The teacher is explaining the lesson.
Option 1: The lesson explained the teacher.
Option 2: The teacher explained the lesson.
Option 3: The lesson is being explained by the teacher.
Option 4: The lesson was explained by the teacher.
Correct Answer: The lesson is being explained by the teacher.
Solution : The correct choice is the third 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 present continuous tense is: "Singular object + is + being + past participle form of the main verb + by followed by the agent of the action."
Therefore, the right answer is: "The lesson is being explained by the teacher."
