Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct passive form of the given sentence is A ban on spitting in public has been introduced by the Indian government.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The ban on spitting had been introduced by the Indian government uses the past perfect tense, while the original sentence is in the present tense.
- The ban on spitting was being introduced by the Indian government uses the present progressive tense, which is not typically used for actions that happen once.
- The Indian government had introduced a ban on spitting in public places uses the past perfect tense and the preposition "in," which is not typically used with the verb "introduce."
- The Indian government has introduced a ban on spitting in public is in the active voice, not the passive voice.
