It Is being solved by us. 

Options:

 We can solve it.

We have to solve it.

Correct Answer:

We are solving it.

Explanation:

We are solving it.

Explanation:

  • We are solving it.: This active construction correctly maintains the original meaning and reverses the subject and object.
  • It will be solved by us.: This passive construction correctly reverses the subject and object but changes the tense from present continuous to future tense.
  • We can solve it.: This active construction changes the meaning by introducing the idea of ability ("can") rather than the ongoing action of solving.
  • We have to solve it.: This active construction changes the meaning by introducing the idea of necessity ("have to") rather than the ongoing action of solving.
