The given sentence is in the active voice: "The invigilator was reading out the instructions." We need to rewrite this sentence in the passive voice.
To convert a sentence from active voice to passive voice, we need to follow the following steps:
1. Identify the subject, verb, and object in the active sentence.
- Subject: The invigilator
- Verb: was reading
- Object: the instructions
2. Move the object to the subject position in the passive sentence.
- The instructions
3. Use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" (in this case, "were being") + the past participle of the main verb (in this case, "read") to form the passive sentence.
- The instructions were being read
4. Add the preposition "by" before the subject of the active sentence.
- The instructions were being read by the invigilator.
Therefore, the correct passive voice sentence is: "The instructions were being read by the invigilator."
Hence, option B:
The instructions were being read out by the invigilator.
is the correct answer.
