Was the beggar not being beaten by her?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Was she not beating the beggar?
- This sentence places the subject "she" before the verb "beating," making it an active construction.
- It directly indicates the action of the subject (she) performing the verb (beating) on the object (the beggar).
- The other options are either to use passive voice constructions or alter the structure of the original sentence.
Therefore, "Was she beating the beggar?" is the correct choice for expressing the sentence in an active voice.
