Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is: Unpublished authors were being expected by the magazine house for their forthcoming exclusive issue on new trends.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is in the active voice with the subject "the magazine house" performing the action of "expecting" on the object "unpublished authors".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- In this case, "unpublished authors" becomes the subject and "were being expected" is the passive form of "was expecting".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.
