Cevap

A thorough investigation into the bank fraud was being carried out by the judicial panel before the main suspect fled the country.
The correct option properly transforms the past continuous active verb 'was carrying out' into the past continuous passive verb structure 'was being carried out'. It retains the singular subject-verb concord with 'investigation' and preserves the phrasal verb particle 'out'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the subject, active verb phrase, direct object, and tense of the main clause.
Subject = 'The judicial panel'; Active verb phrase = 'was carrying out' (Past Continuous Tense); Direct Object = 'a thorough investigation into the bank fraud'.
The direct object of the active sentence must become the grammatical subject of the passive sentence.
2
Transform the past continuous verb phrase into its passive form while retaining the phrasal verb particle.
Active 'was carrying out' becomes Passive 'was being carried out'.
The passive form of past continuous requires [was/were + being + past participle]. The particle 'out' must stay with the verb 'carried'.
3
Verify subject-verb agreement (concord) and secondary clause preservation.
Singular subject 'A thorough investigation...' agrees with singular auxiliary 'was'. The subordinate clause 'before the main suspect fled the country' remains unchanged.
Grammatical concord and original sentence tense/meaning must be strictly preserved across active-passive transformations.
