My father is reading the newspaper.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The newspaper is being read by my father.
- In the active voice sentence "My father is reading the newspaper," the subject (my father) is performing the action (reading).
- In the passive voice, the object of the active sentence (newspaper) becomes the subject.
- The verb changes to its passive form ("is being read"), and "by my father" indicates who is performing the action.
