Complete the sentence with the correct passive construction: 'The ancient Bronze Age artifacts _______ currently _______ by museum conservators.'
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. are ... being restored
- Step 1: The time adverb 'currently' indicates an action taking place right now in the present.
- Step 2: The passive voice for ongoing present action requires present continuous passive: 'are being + past participle' (are being restored).
Answer
are ... being restored.
Why not the others: 'were restored' is simple past; 'have restored' is active present perfect; 'will be restoring' is active future continuous.
