• D. A pen is being given to me by Rani

Answer 1

Answer:

A. A pen was given to me by Rani

1. A pen was given to me by Rani :
2. • Explanation: This is the correct passive voice form in the past tense. It indicates that Rani gave the pen at some point in the past.
   • Example: "A pen was given to me by Rani. / റാണി എനിക്ക് ഒരു പേന തന്നു"
2. A pen is given to me by Rani:
3. • Explanation: This is the passive voice in the present tense, which implies that Rani gives pens to me regularly or habitually. It does not fit if referring to a specific past event.
   • Example: "A pen is given to me by Rani every time she visits. / ഓരോ തവണ വരുമ്പോഴും റാണി എനിക്ക് ഒരു പേന തരും"
3. A pen has been given to me by Rani:
4. • Explanation: This is the passive voice in the present perfect tense, which suggests that the action of giving the pen happened at some unspecified time before now and may have relevance to the present.
   • Example: "A pen has been given to me by Rani recently. / അടുത്തിടെ റാണി എനിക്ക് ഒരു പേന തന്നിട്ടുണ്ട്."
4. A pen is being given to me by Rani:
5. • Explanation: This is the passive voice in the present continuous tense, which implies that the action is happening right now. It does not fit if referring to a completed past action.
   • Example: "A pen is being given to me by Rani as we speak. / ഞങ്ങൾ സംസാരിക്കുമ്പോൾ റാണി എനിക്ക് ഒരു പേന നൽകുന്നു"
