Question

Change the following sentence into Passive Voice.

They are reading interesting and educational stories.

• A. Interesting and educational stories are being read by them.
• B. They have been reading interesting and educational stories.
• C. Interesting and educational stories were read by them.
• D. We have been interesting and educational stories.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Interesting and educational stories are being read by them.

The sentence given is in the present continuous tense. So the right answer should also be in the same tense.
Since option C) has 'were read' (past tense) in it, this option is not the answer.

Option B) have been reading is in the present perfect continuous tense so it is also incorrect. Option D) uses the word 'we' which has not been mentioned in the original sentence. So, the most appropriate answer is A) Interesting and educational stories are being read by them. It is also important to note that in the active voice sentence the subjects are doing something, whereas, in a passive voice sentence, something is being done by them.
