Identify how you will ask everyone if the children were not reading the books in passive voice.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Were the books not being read by the children?

  • In passive voice constructions, the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence, and the verb is changed to a form of "be" (such as "is," "are," "was," "were") followed by the past participle of the main verb (in this case, "read").
