Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The present continuous "are building" becomes "is being built". "They" is a general doer, so "by them" is left out.
Worth noting
"Has being built" mixes the perfect "has" with the continuous "being". Each needs its own form.
