Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. The car is being lifted with a crane.
Active form: They are lifting the car with a crane.
Rules for changing Active form to Passive from:
- Simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
- Now, convert the main verb into its past participle or third form while converting from active to passive voice.
- In this case, the subject 'they' will become hidden in passive voice because the focus is on the crane being lifted and 'them' only serves a necessary actor in the active voice, which is no more needed in the passive voice.
Now, the given sentence is in present continuous tense. When the active form is in "is/are/am + V1 + ing" form then the passive voice should follow the format "is/are/am + being + V3" form.
The passive form will be: The car is being lifted with a crane.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. The car is being lifted with a crane.
