This question was previously asked in
SSC Stenographer 2023 Previous Year Paper (13-Oct-2023) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is
New policies are being implemented by the government to reduce pollution in the city.
Correct Answer: New policies are being implemented by the government to reduce pollution in the city..
Explanation.
The active sentence is in present continuous: The government is implementing new policies…. Passive rule: Object + is/are + being + past participle + by-agent. So new policies becomes the subject; are being implemented is the passive verb.
Additional Information.
Present-continuous passive template: is/are being + past participle. Example: They are building a house → A house is being built (by them). Retain other adverbials (like in the city) at the end.
Common Mistake / Learning Point.
Aspirants forget the being in the passive. Present continuous requires TWO auxiliaries in passive: is/are + being + past participle. Skipping being gives simple present passive.
