The Municipal Corporation changed the manhole covers before the rainy season.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct option that is the passive form of the sentence is The manhole covers were changed before the rainy season.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The manhole covers are change before the rainy season is grammatically incorrect. The verb "to change" is followed by a direct object, but the phrase "are change" is not a direct object.
- The manhole covers is being changed before the rainy season is in the present progressive tense, while the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
- The manhole covers can be changed before the rainy season is in the modal mood, while the question asks for the passive voice.
