Answer 2

The ground was being dug by the hermit.

In the above question, we are expected to change the sentence in active voice to one that is in passive voice. While doing so, we should keep certain things in mind. They are as follows-

• There is an addition of the word'by', that is usually mentioned right before the subject.
• The change in tense of the verb is important. In this case, 'was digging' has been changed to 'was being dug'. Thus, the tense has been changed from present continuous, to past continuous tense.
• The subject should be at the end after the change of voice.
• Here, the subject is the 'hermit'. That is why, it is placed at the end.
