Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Original Sentence: "Was the culprit being chased by the police?" (Passive Voice, Past Continuous tense)
Active Voice Conversion:
The object ("the police") becomes the subject.
The auxiliary "being" is removed.
The main verb changes to the "-ing" form ("chasing").
Note: In Standard English, "police" is a collective noun usually treated as plural, so "Were the police..." is more common.
However, in the context of this multiple-choice question, the third option is the only one that matches the correct tense.
