Efforts are being made by us to reduce crowding in core city areas.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. We are making efforts to reduce crowding in core city areas.
Passive form: Efforts are being made by us to reduce crowding in core city areas.
- In the given sentence, 'is/are/am + being + V3 i.e. made' has been used, which implies that the active form should contain 'is/are/am + V1 + ing'. (Active to passive voice rule for Present Continuous tense.)
- Now, 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.
- Remove the preposition 'by' when converting into active voice.
- The pronoun 'us' will be changed to 'We' in the active voice.
The active form will be: We are making efforts to reduce crowding in core city areas.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. We are making efforts to reduce crowding in core city areas.
