Which of the following options is the most suitable conversion of the following sentence into active voice?
The evidence was being carefully examined by the investigating officers at that time.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Conversion from passive voice to active voice:
The original sentence, "The evidence was being carefully examined by the investigating officers at that time," is in the Past Continuous Passive voice.
Structure: Subject + was/were + being + past participle (V3).
Convert to Active Voice:
To change this to the active voice, we must shift the focus back to the "doer" (the investigating officers) and use the Past Continuous Active form.
Structure: Subject + was/were + present participle (V-ing).
Option ‘B’ follows all these rules.
