Select the correct Active/Passive form of the given sentence.

Stone-pelters are being beaten by police.

Police are beating the stone-pelters.

[Answer: 3;

Present continuous tense- This is a passive sentence - (Is/are/am+1^st form of verb+ing) is changed into (Is/are/am+being+3^rd 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.
