Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure: The data had been being compiled for weeks before the report.
They had been compiling the data for weeks before the report.
They had been compiling the data for weeks before the report. is correct.
The passive verb "had been being compiled" is the past perfect continuous passive (had been + being + past participle). In the active voice the past perfect continuous is had been + present participle: "had been compiling".
The subject "the data" becomes the object, an agent "They" is supplied because none is named, and "for weeks before the report" stays unchanged.
"Were compiling" is past continuous, which loses the perfect sense. "Had compiled" is past perfect, which loses the continuous sense. "Had been compiled the data for weeks" mixes a passive verb with an object and also drops "before the report".
