I think what you're asking is why "has been" or "is written" is the right answer when both gives the same meaning. Well, the reason is that, when you change a sentence in active voice to a passive one, you have to follow the tense of the original (active) sentence. For example, if the sentence was...

I think what you're asking is why "has been" or "is written" is the right answer when both gives the same meaning. Well, the reason is that, when you change a sentence in active voice to a passive one, you have to follow the tense of the original (active) sentence. For example, if the sentence was "Kalidas wrote this book." then the sentence in passive voice would be "This book was written by Kalidas." Likewise: Kalidas had written this book. (Active) This book had been written by Kalidas. (Passive) Kalidas is writing this book. (Active) This book is being written by Kalidas. (Passive) So, only if the sentence was "Kalidas writes this book." (which, in an actual story or paragraph in practice, is a little odd without any prior context) will the passive voice form be "This book is written by Kalidas." So for your original question, the right answer can only be "This book has been written by Kalidas." read less

Technically, both the sentences are accurate. Which sentence you use will depend on the context in which you are using these.

What is your view on the yesteryear English Grammar Book titled "High School English Grammar and Composition" by Wren&Martin? Is it still available? Reminiscence of my School Days during 1960s. Our English Teacher used to conduct special classes just one day before English exam.Usually exams would start with English 1 paper as the first and which would fall on a Monday.So Sunday would be a busy day to pick up grammar like "Direct&Indirect Speech". A lot of example sentences would be discussed.These sentences would predominantly carry names like Rama&Sita in Indian edition Wren&Martin books.The coincidence is "gRAmMAr" consists of RAMA.
