Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer
The implications of the findings will be being evaluated by the ethics committee over the next quarter.
Explanation
The active voice sentence is in the Future Continuous Tense ("will be evaluating").
To convert this tense into the passive voice, the structural formula requires changing the active verb phrase into will be being + past participle (V3).
Active Structure: Subject + will be + Ving + Object
Passive Structure: Object + will be being + V3 + by + Subject
By moving the direct object "The implications of the findings" to the subject position and changing "evaluating" to "being evaluated", we maintain the future continuous timeline while shifting the sentence focus properly.
Key Points
Tense: Future Continuous
Verb Conversion: will be evaluating → will be being evaluated
