In the active voice sentence, "I am training a new batch of officers now," the subject (I) performs the action (am training) on the object (a new batch of officers). To convert the sentence to passive voice, we make the object (a new batch of officers) the subject of the sentence and use the verb "is being trained" in the corresponding form. The agent or the doer of the action (me) is introduced with the preposition "by." Therefore, the passive voice sentence is: "A new batch of officers is being trained by me." The other options are incorrect:
Therefore, the correct option is: "A new batch of officers is being trained by me." |
