Which of the following options is the most suitable conversion of the following sentence into active voice?
A new residential complex is being constructed by the government near the riverside.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Original Sentence "A new residential complex is being constructed by the government near the riverside." is in the passive voice.
Tense: Present Continuous (indicated by "is being constructed").
Conversion from passive to active voice:
In the passive sentence, the doer is "the government" (following "by"). This becomes the subject of the active sentence.
"A new residential complex" is the receiver of the action and becomes the object.
The passive "is being constructed" must be converted to its active Present Continuous form, which is "is constructing" for a singular subject like "the government."
Option ‘B’ implements all these changes.
