Choose the correct alternative which best expresses the given sentence in Passive voice.
Manisha was reading a book in her room.

Correct option is B

· ✔️ The correct passive voice of the sentence is: A book was being read by Manisha in her room.
Definition of Voice:
· Active Voice: The subject performs the action (e.g., "Manisha was reading a book").
· Passive Voice: The action is received by the subject (e.g., "A book was being read by Manisha").
Explanation:
· The sentence is in Past Continuous Tense – “was reading.”
· In passive voice, we use the structure: was/were + being + past participle (V3).
· So, "was reading" becomes "was being read".
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Active (Past Continuous): Subject + was/were + V1+ing + object
· Passive (Past Continuous): Object + was/were + being + V3 + by + subject
Explanation in Hindi:
· जब वाक्य Past Continuous Tense में होता है, तो Passive Voice में इसे "was/were being + V3" में बदला जाता है।
· उदाहरण:
· Active: "She was cleaning the room."
· Passive: "The room was being cleaned by her."
