Correct Answer: is being advise


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

The error lies in the verb form. "Advise" is incorrect because it is in the base form, whereas it should be in the past participle form to form the passive voice with the helping verb "is being". The correct form is "advised".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The staff is being advised to maintain distance while seated in the office.
