Option 1: The victims are seeking a fair decision on the problem
Option 2: The victims were seeking a fair decision on the problem
Option 3: The victims have been seeking a fair decision on the problem
Option 4: The victims were seeking a fair decision on the problem
Correct Answer: The victims are seeking a fair decision on the problem
Solution : The correct answer is option 1.
The victims are seeking a fair decision on the problem
Explanation:
The following is an active sentence in the Present Continuous tense:
S + is/am/are + V1 + ing + O
After that, the passive voice is used as follows:
O + is/am/are + being + V3 + by + S
Being and sought are both in the verb-third form in the aforementioned sentence, indicating that the sentence is in the passive tense.
"Fair resolution" is the subject of the passive sentence in its active form.
And the subject of the passive sentence is the union members.
The verb being sought in the active form becomes are seeking.
Hence, we have the following
The victims are seeking a fair decision on the problem.
As a result, Option 1 is the right response.
