Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
"The book is being read by him." 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct active form of the sentence "The book is being read by him" is "He is reading the book."

Explanation:

Identify the Tense: The original sentence uses "is being read," which is the present continuous tense in the passive voice.

Active Voice Structure: To convert to the active voice, the subject of the action ("him" becomes "He") must perform the verb in the same tense (is/am/are + verb-ing).
