Question

In the questions below, the sentences have been given in Active/Passive voice. From the given alternatives, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in Passive /Active voice
Who is creating this mess?

• A. Who has been created this mess?
• B. By whom has this mess been created?
• C. By whom this mess is being created?
• D. By whom is this mess being created?

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To convert a sentence from active voice to passive voice, you must follow these specific steps:

1. Identify the subject, verb, and object: In the sentence "Who is creating this mess?", the subject is "Who", the verb is "is creating", and the object is "this mess".
2. Switch the positions: The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. Hence, "this mess" moves to the beginning of the sentence.
3. Determine the correct form of the verb: In passive voice, the verb form will need to include a form of "to be" and the past participle. For the present continuous tense in passive voice, use "is being" along with the past participle of "create" which is "created".
4. Introduce the doer of the action: In questions, use "by whom" to indicate the doer. It's not mandatory to mention the doer in passive voice if it's unknown or irrelevant, but since it's a question, we include "by whom" at the beginning.

The conversion gives us the sentence: "By whom is this mess being created?"

Therefore, the correct alternative that expresses the given sentence in passive voice is: By whom is this mess being created?
