Select the correct passive voice transformation of the given sentence:

Correct Answer: Why are trivial objections constantly raised during weekly meetings by members?

Explanation:

To convert an active sentence into passive voice, follow these grammatical rules step-by-step:

1. Identify the sentence structure and tense:
The given active sentence is an interrogative sentence in the Simple Present Tense:
"Why do members constantly raise trivial objections during weekly meetings?"
• Question word: Why
• Subject: members
• Main verb: raise
• Object: trivial objections (plural noun phrase)

2. Interrogative Passive Voice Formula for Simple Present Tense:
Why + is / am / are + Object + (Adverb) + Past Participle (V3) + prepositional phrase + by + Subject?

3. Transform step-by-step:
• Retain the question word "Why" at the beginning.
• Since the object "trivial objections" is plural, use the auxiliary verb "are".
• Place the object "trivial objections" after the auxiliary verb.
• Insert the adverb "constantly" before the main verb.
• Change the base verb "raise" into its past participle form "raised".
• Add the remaining phrase "during weekly meetings".
• Add "by members" at the end to indicate the agent performing the action.

Combining these components gives the correct passive voice sentence:
"Why are trivial objections constantly raised during weekly meetings by members?"
