The given sentence is in passive voice. Its tense is past continuous. The structures for active/passive voices are:
Active: Subject + was/were + verb (ing) + object…
Passive: Object + was/were + being + verb (IIIrd from) + by + subject... |
As per the rule, in order to convert it to active voice, we first interchange the subject and object I.e. ‘the injured’ and ‘the police’. Then we use the past continuous tense i.e. ‘was moving’.
Hence, ‘The police was removing the injured to the hospital’ is the correct answer.
