All questions of Voice for Class 10 Exam

Choose the sentence in the active voice.
  • a)
    The cake was baked by my sister.
  • b)
    The dog was chased by the cat.
  • c)
    The children were helped by the teacher.
  • d)
    The car was washed by the boy.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sreeja Sasmal answered
Correct answer is option d. We know that an active voice does not have the word 'by' in them ( then it is passive voice). In options a, b and c there is the word 'by' in them. So option D is correct.

Which of the following is an example of the passive voice?
  • a)
    The teacher explained the lesson clearly.
  • b)
    The storm destroyed the house.
  • c)
    The flowers were watered by the gardener.
  • d)
    I will complete the project on time.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Agrita Shukla answered
Sure! The correct answer is option 'C': **"The flowers were watered by the gardener."**

In passive voice, the subject of the sentence receives the action rather than performing it. In this case, "the flowers" (the subject) are receiving the action of being watered by "the gardener" (the doer of the action). The structure of the sentence is "subject + auxiliary verb (were) + past participle (watered) + by + agent (the gardener)."

In contrast, the other options are examples of active voice, where the subject performs the action:
- a) "The teacher explained the lesson clearly." (The teacher is performing the action of explaining.)
- b) "The storm destroyed the house." (The storm is performing the action of destroying.)
- d) "I will complete the project on time." (I am performing the action of completing.)

Naveen Chauhan answered
The Passive Voice

The passive voice is a grammatical construction in which the subject of a sentence receives the action of the verb rather than performing the action. It is typically formed by using a form of the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb.

The Options

Let's analyze each of the options provided.

a) The teacher is grading the exams.
This sentence is in the active voice, as the subject "the teacher" is performing the action of "grading the exams."

b) The movie was directed by a famous filmmaker.
This sentence is in the passive voice. The subject "the movie" is receiving the action of "being directed" by the famous filmmaker. The verb "was directed" is a passive construction because the subject is not actively performing the action.

c) The company will launch a new product next month.
This sentence is in the active voice. The subject "the company" is performing the action of "launching a new product."

d) The child ate the cake.
This sentence is in the active voice. The subject "the child" is performing the action of "eating the cake."

Conclusion

The sentence in option B, "The movie was directed by a famous filmmaker," is in the passive voice. The subject "the movie" is receiving the action of "being directed" by the famous filmmaker. In contrast, the other options are all in the active voice, where the subjects are performing the actions of the verbs.
