Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Active voice: The subject performs the action (e.g., "I threw the ball").Passive voice: The subject receives the action (e.g., "The ball was thrown by me").
The original sentence, "I don't like people keeping me waiting," is in the active voice. "People" is the subject performing the action of "keeping me waiting".
Option A: "I don’t like people are kept me waiting." This is grammatically incorrect. The verb tense is wrong; it incorrectly uses the continuous tense ("are kept") and doesn't match the meaning of the original sentence.
Option B: "I don’t like people were kept me waiting." This is also grammatically incorrect for the same reason as option A. It uses the past continuous incorrectly.
Option C: "I don’t like being kept waiting." This is the correct answer. It uses the passive voice correctly. The speaker is the one being kept waiting, making "being kept waiting" the object of the dislike.
Option D: "I don’t like people are being kept waiting." This is grammatically incorrect. Similar to options A and B, it uses the continuous tense wrongly and doesn't reflect the meaning of the original sentence. The sentence focuses on the speaker's dislike of the action being done to *them*, not a general observation about people being kept waiting.
