Select the correct the passive form of the given sentence. Do not beat the dog.

Rule: For a negative imperative (Do not ...), the passive imperative uses the pattern: Let + object + not + be + past participle.

Apply to the sentence "Do not beat the dog."

• Identify the sentence type: negative imperative.

• Use the formula: Let + object + not + be + past participle.

• Past participle of "beat" is "beaten."

• Result: Let the dog not be beaten.

Notes on the other answer choices:

• "Beating of dog is not allowed." — Awkwardly phrased and changes the sentence into a general statement about allowance rather than forming the passive of a negative imperative.

• "The dog was beaten by them." — A past-tense statement describing an action, not a passive imperative; it changes both tense and mood.

• "The dog was beaten." — Also a past passive statement; does not preserve the command sense of the original sentence.
