  2. Kites are being flown by the children.
  3. Kites have been flown by the children.
  4. Kites are flown by the children.

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Kites are being flown by the children.

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) Kites are being flown by the children. šŸ“š Explanation: The original sentence is in the Present Continuous tense, which requires 'is/am/are + being + V3' in its passive transformation. Since 'kites' is a plural subject, we use 'are being' followed by 'flown', which is the past participle of 'fly'. Option A is incorrect as it shifts the tense to the past.
