(C) Only

(D) Only

(A) and (E) Only

Correct Answer:

(C) Only

Explanation:

The correct answer is: (C) Only

Here's why:

  • The original sentence "The cat is chasing the mouse" is in the active voice.
  • To convert it to the passive voice, we need to:
    • Make the object of the active voice sentence (the mouse) the subject of the passive voice sentence.
    • Use the auxiliary verb "be" in the same tense as the original verb ("is" in this case).
    • Add the past participle of the original verb ("chased").
  • Therefore, the correct passive voice sentence is: "The mouse is being chased by the cat."
