    Select the correct passive form of the given sentence. "She is cooking dinner."
    Question

    Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
    "She is cooking dinner."

    A.

    Dinner has been cooked by her.

    B.

    Dinner is being cooked by her.

    C.

    Dinner was cooked by her.

    D.

    Dinner is cooked by her.

    Correct option is B

    The correct passive voice of the sentence is “Dinner is being cooked by her.”
    Explain the rules of conversion (Active → Passive) with structure in detail:
    · Identify Tense: The original sentence is Present Continuous (is/am/are + V1-ing): is cooking.
    · Passive Structure for Present Continuous: am/is/are + being + V3 (past participle) + (by + agent) (agent optional).
    · Apply the rule: is cookingis being cooked; subject–object swap: She (agent)dinner (patient).
    · Final form: Dinner (subject) + is being + cooked (V3) + by her (agent).
    Structure:
    · Active Voice: Subject + am/is/are + V1-ing + Object.
    · Passive Voice: Object + am/is/are + being + V3 (+ by + Subject).
    Example:
    · Active: They are painting the wall. → Passive: The wall is being painted (by them).
    Why other options are incorrect:
    · (a) has been cooked → Present Perfect Passive, not Present Continuous.
    · (c) was cooked → Simple Past Passive.
    · (d) is cooked → Simple Present Passive (habitual/general truth), not ongoing action.
