Which of the following options is the most suitable conversion of the following sentence into Passive Voice?
The volunteers are cleaning the beach after the festival.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The original sentence, "The volunteers are cleaning the beach after the festival," is in the present continuous tense (are cleaning). To convert a present continuous sentence to passive voice, the structure is: object + is/am/are + being + past participle of the verb + by + subject.
The object ("The beach") becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
The correct form of "to be" for "The beach" is "is".
"being cleaned" is the correct passive form for the continuous action.
Option (B) correctly maintains the original tense and structure.
