Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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."
