Choose the option which contains the correct passive/active voice of t...
To determine the correct passive/active voice of the given sentence "I am doing sums," we need to understand the basic concepts of active and passive voice.
Active voice: In active voice, the subject performs the action expressed by the verb.
Passive voice: In passive voice, the subject receives the action expressed by the verb.
Let's analyze the options given:
A:
Sums are done by me.
This option is in the passive voice, but it doesn't accurately represent the original sentence. It suggests that the sums are done by the speaker, which may not be the intended meaning.
B:
Sums are being done by me.
This option is the correct passive voice conversion of the original sentence. It indicates that the sums are being done by the speaker. The verb "am doing" is changed to "are being done," maintaining the passive voice.
C:
I must be doing the sum.
This option is in the active voice, not the passive voice. It doesn't represent the correct conversion of the original sentence.
D:
Sums must be done by me.
This option is in the passive voice, but it doesn't accurately represent the original sentence. It suggests that the speaker must do the sums, which may not be the intended meaning.
Therefore, the correct option is B:
Sums are being done by me.
