Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is: The meal was being cooked by Mary.
Key Points
- The passive voice's object replaces the active voice's subject, and the subject of the Passive Voice also replaces the Active Voice's object.
- 'Mary' becomes the object of the passive voice and 'the meal' becomes the subject of the passive voice.
- The usage of a helping verb is necessary while changing the voice of the sentence from Active to Passive.
- The given sentence is in imperative form.
- In active form, the sentence is: Subject + was + V1+ing + Object.
- In passive form: Object + was being + V3 + Subject.
- Example:
- Aradhya was playing Chess. (Active form)
- Chess was being played by Aradhya. (Passive form)
- 'was cooking' changes to 'was being cooked'.
- Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
Thus, the correct sentence will be: The meal was being cooked by Mary.
