    Question

    Select the option that expresses the following sentence

    in passive voice: The teacher is checking the answer sheets.
    A The answer sheets are checked by the teacher. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The answer sheets have been checked by the teacher. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The answer sheets are being checked by the teacher. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The answer sheets were being checked by the teacher. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In passive voice, the object of the active sentence ("the answer sheets") becomes the subject. The verb "is checking" changes to "are being checked" to maintain the present continuous tense. The original subject ("the teacher") becomes the agent of the action, introduced by "by."
