Cevap

The whistleblower's allegations ought to have been looked into by the legal team before the press conference.
The correct choice accurately shifts the object 'the whistleblower's allegations' to the subject position and correctly transforms the active modal perfect phrasal verb 'ought to have looked into' into 'ought to have been looked into', preserving both the aspectual auxiliary 'been' and the required prepositional particle 'into'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the active subject, verb phrase, and direct object.
Subject = 'The legal team', Verb phrase = 'ought to have looked into' (modal perfect phrasal verb), Direct object = 'the whistleblower's allegations'.
The direct object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
2
Apply the passive transformation rule for modal perfect phrasal verbs.
'ought to have looked into' becomes 'ought to have been looked into'.
The passive form of 'modal + have + past participle' is 'modal + have + been + past participle', and the particle 'into' must be retained immediately after the verb.
3
Construct the complete passive sentence incorporating the original agent and temporal adjunct.
'The whistleblower's allegations ought to have been looked into by the legal team before the press conference.'
This preserves the precise tense, aspect, modality, and semantic relationships of the active original.
