Question

Choose the correct passive voice form. Please take the stairs because the mall elevator _________ by the technician right now.

A is repairing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B had repaired Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C was repaired Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D is being repaired Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

The phrase "right now" means the action is ongoing at this very moment. To show continuous action in the passive voice, we use the word being.  The formula is is/am/are + being + past participle (V3), making "is being repaired" the correct choice.  So, please take the stairs because the mall elevator is being repaired by the technician right now.
