Select the correct Active/Passive form of the given sentence.
Stone-pelters are being beaten by police.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
[Answer: 3;
Present continuous tense- This is a passive sentence - (Is/are/am+1st form of verb+ing) is changed into (Is/are/am+being+3rd form of verb)]
The logic here is:
- Passive: Object (The stone-pelters) + Verb (are being beaten) + by + Subject (the police)
- Active: Subject (Police) + Verb (are beating) + Object (the stone-pelters)
Now As per question:
Passive voice : Stone-pelters are being beaten by police.
So,
Active voice : Police are beating the stone-pelters.
