Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: Slogans are being shouted by the poor children in the election campaign of the local minister.
Explanation
• The given sentence is in the Present Continuous Tense in active voice: Subject + is/am/are + V1-ing + Object.
• To convert it into passive voice, follow the rule: Object + is/am/are + being + V3 (past participle) + by + Subject.
• Here, the object "slogans" is plural, so it takes "are being shouted".
Quick Tip: Whenever the active voice uses continuous tense (-ing), the passive voice must include "being" while keeping the original tense intact.
