Change the following sentence from active to passive:
The deliberation team may have been outlining alternative scenarios during the session.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Correct Answer: Alternative scenarios may have been being outlined during the session by the deliberation team.
Explanation
• The given sentence is in the active voice with a modal perfect continuous construction (may + have + been + V-ing).
• The active voice structure is: Subject + modal + have been + present participle (V-ing) + Object.
• The passive voice rule for modal perfect continuous is: Object + modal + have been being + past participle (V3) + by + Subject.
• Here, 'alternative scenarios' becomes the subject, 'may have been outlining' converts to 'may have been being outlined', and 'the deliberation team' becomes the agent introduced by 'by'.
