The given sentence is in the past continuous tense, which indicates an ongoing action in the past. We need to rewrite the sentence in the passive voice.
To convert the sentence into the passive voice, we need to focus on the subject, verb, and the object.
Subject: I
Verb: taking
Object: coffee
Now, let's analyze each option:
A: Coffee was being taken by me.
- This option correctly uses the past continuous passive voice.
- The subject "I" is converted to "me" in the passive voice.
- The verb "taking" is changed to "being taken."
- The object "coffee" remains the same.
B: Coffee is being taken by me.
- This option uses the present continuous passive voice, which does not match the tense of the original sentence.
- The original sentence is in the past, so we cannot use the present tense in the passive voice.
C: Coffee was taken by me.
- This option uses the past simple passive voice, which changes the meaning of the sentence.
- The past simple passive voice indicates that the action is completed in the past, rather than an ongoing action.
D: Coffee has been taken by me.
- This option uses the present perfect passive voice, which does not match the tense of the original sentence.
- The present perfect tense indicates an action that started in the past and is still relevant in the present.
Conclusion:
After analyzing each option, we can conclude that option A is the correct answer as it maintains the tense and the passive voice form of the original sentence.
