Choose the correct passive voice using subject-to-subject raising for: ‘People believe that he is innocent.’

Explanation

Reporting verbs like ‘believe,’ ‘think,’ and ‘say’ allow for a passive construction in which the subject of the that-clause becomes the subject of the main sentence, followed by ‘is believed to be,’ giving ‘He is believed to be innocent.’ This is an alternative to the impersonal construction ‘It is believed that he is innocent,’ with both forms being commonly used and grammatically correct.
