The computer has not been used by Usnis for weeks.

The computer has not being used by Usnis for weeks.

Correct Answer:

The computer has not been used by Usnis for weeks.

Explanation:

The correct option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice is The computer has not been used by Usnis for weeks.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The computer did not used by Usnis for weeks is grammatically incorrect. The verb "to use" is transitive, which means that it takes a direct object. However, the subject of the sentence is "the computer," which is not a direct object.
  • The computer was not been used by Usnis for weeks is grammatically incorrect. The verb "to be" is followed by a past participle, but the verb "to use" is not a past participle.
  • The computer has not being used by Usnis for weeks is grammatically incorrect. The verb "to be" is followed by a present participle, but the verb "to use" is not a present participle.
