Choose the correct Active voice sentence;
It is being said that too little money is being spent by the Government on roads.
Answer: A
The correct active sentence is People are saying that the Government is spending too little money on roads.
The passive 'It is being said' is present continuous, so the active form keeps the present continuous with a general subject: 'People are saying'. The reported clause 'too little money is being spent by the Government' is also present continuous passive; its agent, the Government, becomes the subject: 'the Government is spending too little money'.
'People were saying ... has been spent' changes both tenses and leaves the clause passive. 'Too little money spent by Government on roading' is ungrammatical, and 'Government have spend' misuses the verb form.
