Question :
Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice : Each candidate was making tall promises.
Options :
- Tall promises were being made by each candidate.
- Tall promises are made by each candidate.
- Tall promises will be made by each candidate.
- Tall promises are being made by each candidate.
correct answer : b)
The correct answer is option a) i.e. Tall promises were being made by each candidate.
To change the voice of the sentence, we interchange the subject and the object with each other while the tense remains the same.
Here, “each candidate” is the subject which will become the object in the passive voice and “tall promises” is the object which will become the subject.
Passive structure for past continuous tense: was/were + being + past participle
Thus, the correct passive voice is – Tall promises were being made by each candidate.
