Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice. Suma is making tea.
The given sentence is in active voice: "Suma is making tea."
To convert it into passive voice, we need to follow these steps:
- Identify the subject (Suma), verb (is making), and object (tea).
- Make the object (tea) the subject of the passive sentence.
- Use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" (is being) + past participle of the main verb (made).
- Add "by" + the original subject (Suma).
Applying these steps, we get: "Tea is being made by Suma."
Let's examine why the other options are incorrect:
- "Tea was made by Suma" implies the action is completed in the past.
- "Tea was being made by Suma" suggests an ongoing action in the past.
- "Tea has been made by Suma" indicates an action completed in the past with relevance to the present.
Only "Tea is being made by Suma" accurately reflects the ongoing action described in the original active voice sentence. The use of "is being made" correctly captures the continuous present tense of the original sentence. The passive construction successfully shifts the focus from the actor (Suma) to the action performed on the object (tea).
