The correct answer is: Unpublished authors were being expected by the magazine house for their forthcoming exclusive issue on new trends.

Key Points
  • The sentence is in the active voice with the subject "the magazine house" performing the action of "expecting" on the object "unpublished authors".
  • To convert it into passive voice, we need to make the object the subject and add a form of the verb "to be" before the past participle of the main verb.
  • In this case, "unpublished authors" becomes the subject and "were being expected" is the passive form of "was expecting".
  • The preposition "by" is added to show who is performing the action (the magazine house).

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
