My submission … by the Council at the moment.

Step 1: Analyze the question We need the correct verb form to complete: "My submission ____ by the Council at the moment."

Step 2: Identify the clues

• "My submission" is the subject, and it is a thing that receives the action. It does not do the considering.
• "by the Council" is an agent phrase, which signals the passive voice.
• "at the moment" signals an action happening right now, so we need the present continuous tense.

Step 3: Form the tense The present continuous passive is formed as: is/are + being + past participle → "is being considered"

Step 4: Test each option

• A. considering: this is not a finite verb, so the sentence is incomplete and ungrammatical.
• B. is being considered: passive, present continuous. It fits "by the Council" and "at the moment."
• C. considers: this is active voice. It would mean the submission does the considering, which makes no sense with "by the Council."
• D. is considered: this is passive but simple present. It describes a general fact or habit, not something happening "at the moment."

Step 5: Answer The correct answer is B. is being considered.

Complete sentence: "My submission is being considered by the Council at the moment."

Exam tip: When you see "at the moment," "now," "currently," or "at present," think continuous tense. When you also see "by + doer," think passive. Combine the two and you get is/are + being + past participle.
