But I am not sure.

Answer 2

This book is being sold well.  

Explanation:

• General rules for converting a sentence in the active voice to the passive voice:
• The object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.  
• The tense of the verb ‘to be’ should be maintained the same as it is in the active voice.  
• The main verb in the active voice sentence is changed to its past participle form in the passive sentence.
• While changing a verb in the present continuous form in the active voice to the passive voice, the general format is:

Active voice: Subject + to be (is/are/am) + -ing form of a verb + object

Passive voice: Object + to be (is/are/am) + being + past participle verb form + subject

The verb ‘selling’ in the given sentence is in the present continuous form which denotes an action is still ongoing. The past participle form of ‘selling’ is ‘sold’. To maintain the present continuous form of a tense, the verb ‘selling’ is changed to ‘being sold’ when converted to passive voice.
