Pick out the correct sentence in passive voice of the following sentence: 'Some boys were helping the wounded man.'

Question

Option 1: The wounded man was helping some boys

Option 2: The wounded man was being helped by some boys

Option 3: The wounded man is helped by some boys

Option 4: The wounded man was helped by some boys

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

Option 2 is correct as it properly converts the active voice to passive while maintaining the progressive aspect ('was being helped'). Options 1 and 3 change the meaning and do not represent the passive voice correctly. Option 4 changes the tense from progressive to simple past, which slightly alters the meaning.
