Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer: Railway stations across India have been upgraded by the Railways Ministry over the last decade.
Explanation
• Active Sentence: The Railways Ministry (Subject) + has been upgrading (Verb) + railway stations across India (Object)...
• Passive Structure: Object becomes Subject + has/have been + past participle (V3) + by + original Subject.
• The new subject, railway stations across India, is plural and takes the plural auxiliary have been upgraded.
• In standard grammar and competitive exams, the passive form of the present perfect continuous tense avoids the awkward phrase been being and is conventionally expressed using the present perfect passive form (have been upgraded).
