Answered by GPT-4o mini
The sentence "The meal was being cooked when I arrived home" is in the passive voice. In this sentence, the focus is on the action being done to the subject (the meal) rather than on who or what is performing the action. The structure "was being cooked" indicates that the meal is not the doer of the action but the receiver of the action being done by someone else.
