Select the option that best expresses the given sentence in Passive Voice.
"Why are you making a hole in the wall" ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option 3: Why is a hole being made in the wall?
This sentence is in the active voice, with the subject "you" performing the action of making a hole. To convert it to the passive voice, we need to make the object of the sentence, "a hole", the subject, and change the verb "are making" to a passive form. The passive form of "are making" is "is being made".
The other options are incorrect because:
-
Option 1: "Why is a hole being make in the wall?" is grammatically incorrect. The verb "make" should be "made" in the passive voice.
-
Option 2: "Why was a hole being make in the wall?" is past tense, but the original sentence is present tense.
-
Option 4: "Why was a hole being made in the wall?" is past tense, but the original sentence is present tense.
