Explanation:
The given sentence is: "Give the command."
Active Voice:
In the active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb. In this case, the subject is "you" (implied) and the verb is "give."
Passive Voice:
In the passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. To change the sentence to the passive voice, we need to make the object of the active sentence (the command) the subject of the passive sentence and use the verb "be" along with the past participle of the main verb ("given").
Now, let's look at the options given:
- Option a) "The command will be given":
This option correctly uses the passive voice construction by making "the command" the subject and using the verb "will be" along with the past participle "given."
- Option b) "The command is being given":
This option is also in the passive voice, but it indicates that the action is currently happening or in progress. It uses the present continuous tense "is being" along with the past participle "given."
- Option c) "Let the command be given":
This option is in the passive voice and uses the imperative form "let" to suggest or request that the command be given. It is a common construction used for giving instructions or making requests.
- Option d) "The command must be given":
This option is also in the passive voice and uses the modal verb "must" to indicate necessity or obligation. It suggests that it is necessary for the command to be given.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is option c) "Let the command be given" because it is a passive construction using the imperative form. However, options a), b), and d) are also grammatically correct passive voice constructions.
The given sentence is: "Give the command."

Alok Banerjee answered |
By whom was your pen stolen?
Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In the given sentence, the subject "your pen" is singular, and the verb "was stolen" agrees with it in terms of number. This is because the verb "was" is the past tense of the auxiliary verb "be," and it is used with singular subjects.
Passive Voice:
The sentence is written in the passive voice, where the focus is on the action done to the subject rather than the doer of the action. In this case, the focus is on the pen that was stolen, rather than the person who stole it.
Passive Voice Structure:
In the passive voice sentence structure, the object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject, the verb is changed to its past participle form, and the doer of the action (if mentioned) becomes the object of the preposition "by."
Question Word:
The question word "by whom" is used at the beginning of the sentence to inquire about the doer of the action. In this case, it is asking who stole the pen.
Correct Answer:
Option B, "By whom was your pen stolen?", is the correct answer as it follows the correct subject-verb agreement, uses the passive voice structure, and correctly places the question word "by whom" at the beginning of the sentence.
To summarize, the correct sentence structure for asking who stole your pen is "By whom was your pen stolen?" This sentence follows the rules of subject-verb agreement and uses the passive voice to focus on the action rather than the doer.

Passive Voice of "They will have taught him":
The sentence "They will have taught him" can be changed to the passive voice as follows:
a) He will have been taught by them.
The passive voice construction "He will have been taught by them" changes the sentence structure and emphasizes the recipient of the action rather than the doer.
Explanation:
1. Active Voice:
In the active voice, the subject performs the action. In this case, "They" is the subject and they are performing the action of teaching. The object is "him".
Subject: They
Verb: will have taught
Object: him
2. Passive Voice:
In the passive voice, the subject receives the action. The object becomes the subject, and the original subject is introduced with the preposition "by". The verb is changed to the past participle form "been taught".
New Subject: He
New Verb: will have been taught
Original Subject: by them
Therefore, the correct passive voice construction for "They will have taught him" is "He will have been taught by them".
The sentence "They will have taught him" can be changed to the passive voice as follows:
a) He will have been taught by them.
The passive voice construction "He will have been taught by them" changes the sentence structure and emphasizes the recipient of the action rather than the doer.

Aditi Saxena answered |
Correct answer is option d) The examination had already been passed by him.
In the active voice, the sentence "He had already passed the examination" means that the subject of the sentence (He) performed the action of passing the examination. To change this sentence to the passive voice, you would need to make the examination the subject of the sentence and convert the verb "passed" to the past participle form "been passed." The resulting sentence in the passive voice would be "The examination had already been passed by him."

Aurora Institute answered |
The original sentence is in the past perfect tense, indicating an action that happened before another action in the past. The subject "him" is the object of the examination. We need to rewrite the sentence using the passive voice. Let's analyze the options:
A:
He had been examined by the doctor.
This option correctly uses the past perfect tense and the passive voice. It conveys the meaning that the doctor performed the examination before a certain point in the past.
B:
He was examined by the doctor.
This option uses the simple past tense, which is not consistent with the original sentence's past perfect tense. It suggests that the examination happened at a specific point in the past but does not indicate a relationship with another past action.
C:
He has been examined by the doctor.
This option uses the present perfect tense, which is not appropriate for expressing an action that happened before another action in the past. It suggests that the examination happened at an unspecified time before the present.
D:
None of these
This option is incorrect because option A is the correct answer.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: He had been examined by the doctor.

"She has written letters" in the passive voice would be "Letters have been written by her". The passive voice is used to indicate interest in the person or thing that experiences an activity rather than the person or item that conducts the action.

Understanding Passive Voice
The passive voice is a grammatical construction where the subject of the sentence is acted upon by the verb, rather than performing the action. In the given example, we need to transform an active voice sentence into passive voice.
Original Sentence
- People speak English all over the world.
Transformed Sentence
- English is spoken all over the world.
Explanation of the Correct Answer (Option A)
- Subject Change: In the passive voice, the object of the active sentence (English) becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
- Focus on Action: The focus shifts from "people" to "English," emphasizing the language rather than the speakers.
- Verb Form: The verb "speak" is changed to the correct passive form "is spoken," which indicates an ongoing or general action.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect
- Option B: "English is spoken all over the world by people."
- While grammatically correct, it unnecessarily includes "by people," which detracts from the focus on the language itself.
- Option C: "English have been by everyone all over the world."
- This is incorrect due to the omission of the verb "spoken," making the sentence incomplete.
- Option D: "English have been spoken all over the world."
- This is a valid passive construction but changes the tense from simple present to present perfect, altering the original meaning.
Conclusion
The best choice is option A, as it correctly represents the passive voice while maintaining the original sentence's intent and tense.

Since the sentence is in simple past “was/were + past particle “ will be used. When both the verbs that take both a direct and indirect object in the active voice are changed to the passive , either object may become the subject of the passive verb , while the other is retained. So, both “A check was handed to her” and “ She was handed a cheque” are correct

Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'C': "She is helped by them."
Let's break down the sentence and analyze the different options to understand why option 'C' is the correct choice.
Given sentence: They help her.
a) She was helped by them.
b) She has helped by them.
c) She is helped by them.
d) She had helped by them.
Option 'A': She was helped by them.
- This option uses the past tense verb "was." However, the original sentence is in the present tense, so this option is incorrect.
Option 'B': She has helped by them.
- This option uses the present perfect tense verb "has helped." However, the original sentence does not indicate any action performed by "her." Instead, it suggests that someone else helps her. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Option 'C': She is helped by them.
- This option uses the present tense verb "is." It correctly reflects the ongoing action of "helping" by someone else. The subject "she" receives the action of being helped by "them." Therefore, option 'C' is the correct choice.
Option 'D': She had helped by them.
- This option uses the past perfect tense verb "had helped." However, the original sentence does not indicate any action performed by "her." Instead, it suggests that someone else helps her. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
In summary, option 'C' ("She is helped by them.") is the correct answer because it accurately reflects the ongoing action of someone else helping "her."
The correct answer is option 'C': "She is helped by them."
Let's break down the sentence and analyze the different options to understand why option 'C' is the correct choice.

Aurora Institute answered |
To determine the correct sentence, let's break down the options and analyze them:
A: The food have not been tasted by me.
- The subject "food" is singular, so it should be paired with the singular form of the verb "has" instead of "have." Therefore, this option is incorrect.
B: The food has not been tasted by me.
- This option correctly uses the singular form of the verb "has" to agree with the singular subject "food." Also, the verb "tasted" is in the past participle form, which is appropriate when using the passive voice. Therefore, this option is correct.
C: The food has not tasted by me.
- This option is grammatically incorrect because it lacks the auxiliary verb "been" after "tasted." The correct form should be "has not been tasted."
D: The food have not tasted by me.
- Similar to option C, this option is also incorrect because it uses the plural form "have" with the singular subject "food." The correct form should be "has not tasted."
Therefore, the correct sentence is option B: "The food has not been tasted by me."

Nidhi menon answered |
In the given sentence, the verb "taught" is in active voice, indicating that Mary is the subject performing the action of teaching and Ravi is the object receiving the action. To change the sentence to passive voice, we need to make Ravi the subject of the sentence and Mary the object. This can be done by using the passive form of the verb "taught."
Here's a breakdown of the passive sentence:
Subject: Ravi
Verb: was taught
Object: French
By-agent: Mary
In passive voice constructions, the object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject, the subject of the active voice sentence becomes the "by-agent" (introduced by the preposition "by"), and the verb is changed to the appropriate form of "be" + past participle.
The meaning of the sentence remains the same; it states that Ravi received French lessons from Mary. However, the focus is shifted from Mary to Ravi.
It is important to note that the other options presented do not correctly represent the passive voice for the given sentence:
- Option A: "French was being taught to Ravi by Mary" suggests an ongoing action in the past, whereas the original sentence does not imply any ongoing or continuous aspect.
- Option B: "French is being taught to Ravi by Mary" indicates a present continuous action, which is not consistent with the original sentence.
- Option D: "Ravi would be taught French by Mary" introduces the modal verb "would," which changes the meaning of the sentence to a hypothetical or conditional statement rather than a simple statement of fact.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Aurora Institute answered |
To express the idea that "he did not ring the bell," we can use the passive voice to emphasize the action of ringing the bell rather than the person performing the action. Let's analyze the given options:
A: The bell is not rung by him.
This sentence is in the passive voice, but it uses the present tense. However, we need to use the past tense to match the original statement.
B: The bell has not been rung by him.
This sentence is in the passive voice and uses the present perfect tense. However, we need to use the simple past tense to match the original statement.
C: The bell was not rung by him.
This sentence is in the passive voice and uses the simple past tense, which correctly matches the original statement. The verb "was" is the past tense form of "is," and "rung" is the past participle form of "ring."
D: The bell had not been rung by him.
This sentence is in the passive voice and uses the past perfect tense. However, the original statement does not imply any prior action that occurred before another past action, so the past perfect tense is unnecessary.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: The bell was not rung by him.

When the sentence is in active voice and is an Imperative Sentence, “Let be” is used in the passive form of the sentence , if the sentence has to be remain in imperative , otherwise “should be” can be used. An imperative sentence in the passive voice has the following form: “Let + object + be + past participle.” Like if we say – “Open the window” then the passive voice would be “let the window be opened” or “The window should be opened”. Or let’s take an another example “Carry it home” so the passive voice will be “Let it be carried home”

Aurora Institute answered |
The correct answer is A:
I am loved by my mother.
Explanation:
To determine the correct sentence, we need to understand the sentence structure and verb tenses.
1. The original sentence given is "My mother loves me." This sentence is in the present tense.
2. The subject of the sentence is "my mother," and the object is "me."
3. To convert the sentence into the passive voice, we need to make the object the subject of the sentence and the subject the object.
4. The verb tense also needs to be changed to match the new sentence structure.
Now let's analyze each option:
A:
I am loved by my mother.
- This option correctly changes the subject to the object and uses the present tense of the verb "am."
B:
I had loved by my mother.
- This option uses the past perfect tense "had loved," which is incorrect because the original sentence is in the present tense.
C:
I have loved by my mother.
- This option uses the present perfect tense "have loved," which is incorrect because the original sentence is not talking about the speaker's love for their mother.
D:
I was loved by my mother.
- This option uses the past tense "was loved," which is incorrect because the original sentence is in the present tense.
Therefore, the correct answer is A:
I am loved by my mother.

Sentence transformation: Active to Passive Voice
To change the given sentence from active voice to passive voice, we need to follow certain rules and guidelines. Let's go through the options provided and explain why option 'B' is the correct answer.
a) The field was being ploughed by the farmers.
This option is in the passive voice, but it uses the past continuous tense ("was being ploughed"), which implies an ongoing action in the past. However, the original sentence does not indicate that the action is ongoing in the past. Therefore, this option is not the correct transformation.
b) The field is being ploughed by the farmers.
This option is in the passive voice and uses the present continuous tense ("is being ploughed"), which indicates an ongoing action in the present. This transformation accurately reflects the original sentence, as it states that the field is currently being ploughed by the farmers. Hence, this option is the correct transformation.
c) The field are be ploughed by the farmers.
This option is not grammatically correct. The verb "are" does not agree with the subject "field," and the use of "be" is incorrect. Therefore, this option is not the correct transformation.
d) The field were been ploughed by the farmers.
This option uses the past tense ("were been ploughed"), but the original sentence is in the present tense. Additionally, the use of "been" is not appropriate in this context. Therefore, this option is not the correct transformation.
Summary:
- Option 'B' is the correct transformation because it is in the passive voice, uses the present continuous tense, and accurately reflects the original sentence.
- Options 'A', 'C', and 'D' do not accurately reflect the original sentence or contain grammatical errors.

Aurora Institute answered |
The given sentence is "She has written letters." We need to rewrite this sentence using the passive voice.
The passive voice is used when the subject of the sentence is the receiver of the action, rather than the doer of the action. In this case, the doer of the action is "she" and the receiver of the action is "letters."
Let's analyze each option and determine which one correctly uses the passive voice:
Option A:
Letters were written by her.
- This option correctly uses the passive voice. "Letters" is the receiver of the action, and "were written" is the passive form of the verb "to write." However, the doer of the action is missing, so this is not the correct option.
Option B:
Letters have been written by her.
- This option also correctly uses the passive voice. "Letters" is the receiver of the action, "have been written" is the present perfect passive form of the verb "to write," and "by her" indicates that she is the doer of the action. This is the correct option.
Option C:
Letters have written by her.
- This option incorrectly uses the active voice. It states that "Letters have written by her," which does not make grammatical sense. The subject "letters" cannot perform the action of writing.
Option D:
Letters are written by her.
- This option correctly uses the passive voice. "Letters" is the receiver of the action, "are written" is the present simple passive form of the verb "to write," and "by her" indicates that she is the doer of the action. However, the tense does not match with the original sentence, which uses the present perfect tense. Therefore, this is not the correct option.
Conclusion:
After analyzing all the options, we can conclude that the correct option is B: "Letters have been written by her." This option correctly uses the passive voice and maintains the original tense of the sentence.

Aurora Institute answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option C:
Cricket is being played by me.
Here's the breakdown of why option C is the correct answer:
Option A:
- The sentence structure is incorrect. It should be "I had been playing cricket" or "Cricket had been played by me" for the past continuous tense.
- The pronoun "me" should be used instead of "be me".
Option B:
- The sentence structure is incorrect. It should be "I was playing cricket" or "Cricket was played by me" for the past continuous tense.
- The pronoun "me" should be used instead of "be me".
Option C:
- The sentence structure is correct. "Cricket is being played by me" is in the present continuous tense.
- The subject ("Cricket") is followed by the verb ("is being played"), and then the pronoun "me" is used to indicate the performer of the action.
- This option accurately describes the ongoing action of playing cricket.
Option D:
- The sentence structure is incorrect. It should be "I have been playing cricket" or "Cricket has been played by me" for the present perfect continuous tense.
- The pronoun "me" should be used instead of "be me".
Therefore, the correct answer is option C:
Cricket is being played by me.

Answer:
Introduction:
The correct answer to the question "We are playing chess?" is option 'b' - "Chess is being played by us." In this answer, the present continuous passive voice is used to describe the ongoing action of playing chess by us.
Explanation:
To understand why option 'b' is the correct answer, let's break down the options and analyze them individually.
a) Chess had being played by us:
This sentence is in the past perfect continuous passive voice. It suggests that the action of playing chess had started in the past and continued up until another point in the past. However, the original question is in the present tense, so this option is incorrect.
c) Chess has being played by us:
This sentence is in the present perfect continuous passive voice. It implies that the action of playing chess has started in the past and is still ongoing. However, the original question is asking about the present moment, so this option is also incorrect.
d) Chess was being played by us:
This sentence is in the past continuous passive voice. It suggests that the action of playing chess was ongoing in the past but has since been completed. Since the original question is asking about the present moment, this option is also incorrect.
b) Chess is being played by us:
This sentence is in the present continuous passive voice. It accurately represents the ongoing action of playing chess by us at the present moment. The subject "we" is performing the action of playing chess, and the verb "is being played" indicates the passive voice. This option correctly matches the tense and voice of the original question.
Conclusion:
The correct answer to the question "We are playing chess?" is option 'b' - "Chess is being played by us." This option reflects the present continuous passive voice, which accurately describes the ongoing action of playing chess by us at the present moment.

Aurora Institute answered |
The given sentence is in the past continuous tense, which indicates an ongoing action in the past. We need to rewrite the sentence in the passive voice.
To convert the sentence into the passive voice, we need to focus on the subject, verb, and the object.
Subject: I
Verb: taking
Object: coffee
Now, let's analyze each option:
A: Coffee was being taken by me.
- This option correctly uses the past continuous passive voice.
- The subject "I" is converted to "me" in the passive voice.
- The verb "taking" is changed to "being taken."
- The object "coffee" remains the same.
B: Coffee is being taken by me.
- This option uses the present continuous passive voice, which does not match the tense of the original sentence.
- The original sentence is in the past, so we cannot use the present tense in the passive voice.
C: Coffee was taken by me.
- This option uses the past simple passive voice, which changes the meaning of the sentence.
- The past simple passive voice indicates that the action is completed in the past, rather than an ongoing action.
D: Coffee has been taken by me.
- This option uses the present perfect passive voice, which does not match the tense of the original sentence.
- The present perfect tense indicates an action that started in the past and is still relevant in the present.
Conclusion:
After analyzing each option, we can conclude that option A is the correct answer as it maintains the tense and the passive voice form of the original sentence.

c)

Aurora Institute answered |
The correct answer is option B: "Are the poor helped by him?" Let's break down the options and explain why this is the correct choice:
A: "Were the poor helped by him?"
- This question is in the past tense, suggesting that the action of helping the poor has already taken place. However, the original question is asking about the current situation, not the past.
B: "Are the poor helped by him?"
- This question is in the present tense, which matches the original question. It asks whether the poor are currently being helped by him.
C: "The poor was helped by him?"
- This statement is in the past tense and is not a question. It suggests that the poor have already been helped by him, but it does not address the current situation.
D: "Is the poor helped by him?"
- This question is in the present tense, but it uses "the poor" as a singular noun. However, "the poor" refers to a group of people, so it should be treated as a plural noun.
In conclusion, option B is the correct answer because it matches the present tense and the plural form of "the poor." It correctly asks if the poor are currently being helped by him.

Meera Basu answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'B' - Many games were played by him.
Subject and Verb Agreement:
In the given sentence, the subject is "He" and the verb is "played". Since the subject is singular, the verb should also be singular. However, the verb "played" is in the past tense and agrees with the subject "He".
Passive Voice:
The sentence "He played many games" is in the active voice, where the subject performs the action. To change the sentence to the passive voice, we need to make the object of the sentence (many games) the subject and use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" with the past participle of the main verb (played).
Formation of Passive Voice:
The passive voice construction for the given sentence is "Many games were played by him."
- The subject "He" is changed to the object "Many games".
- The verb "played" is changed to the past participle form "played".
- The verb "were" is used with the subject "Many games" to indicate that the action was performed in the past.
Other Options:
a) Many games was played by him - This option is incorrect because "many games" is plural, so the verb should be "were" instead of "was". Also, the subject-verb agreement is incorrect.
c) Many games were not played by him - This option is incorrect because it changes the meaning of the original sentence. The original sentence states that he played many games, while this option states that he did not play many games.
d) Many games had been played by him - This option is incorrect because it uses the past perfect tense, which indicates an action that was completed before another past action. However, there is no indication of another past action in the given sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - Many games were played by him.
The correct answer is option 'B' - Many games were played by him.
Subject and Verb Agreement:
In the given sentence, the subject is "He" and the verb is "played". Since the subject is singular, the verb should also be singular. However, the verb "played" is in the past tense and agrees with the subject "He".
Passive Voice:
The sentence "He played many games" is in the active voice, where the subject performs the action. To change the sentence to the passive voice, we need to make the object of the sentence (many games) the subject and use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" with the past participle of the main verb (played).
Formation of Passive Voice:
The passive voice construction for the given sentence is "Many games were played by him."
- The subject "He" is changed to the object "Many games".
- The verb "played" is changed to the past participle form "played".
- The verb "were" is used with the subject "Many games" to indicate that the action was performed in the past.
Other Options:
a) Many games was played by him - This option is incorrect because "many games" is plural, so the verb should be "were" instead of "was". Also, the subject-verb agreement is incorrect.
c) Many games were not played by him - This option is incorrect because it changes the meaning of the original sentence. The original sentence states that he played many games, while this option states that he did not play many games.
d) Many games had been played by him - This option is incorrect because it uses the past perfect tense, which indicates an action that was completed before another past action. However, there is no indication of another past action in the given sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - Many games were played by him.

Aurora Institute answered |
The given sentence is: "Iva guides me."
To rewrite the sentence using the given options, we need to choose the correct form of the verb "guide" based on the tense and subject of the sentence. Let's analyze each option:
A: I have been guided by Siva.
This sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. However, the original sentence does not indicate any ongoing action, so this option is incorrect.
B: I am being guided by Siva.
This sentence is in the present continuous tense, which is used to talk about actions happening at the moment of speaking. However, the original sentence does not indicate that the action is happening right now, so this option is also incorrect.
C: Was guided by Siva.
This sentence is in the past tense, indicating that the action of being guided by Siva happened in the past. However, the original sentence is in the present tense, so this option is incorrect.
D: I am guided by Siva.
This sentence is in the present tense, indicating that the action of being guided by Siva is happening currently. It is the most appropriate option as it maintains the same tense as the original sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: I am guided by Siva.

Aurora Institute answered |
The correct answer is option B:
Songs were being sung by them.
Explanation:
- The original sentence states that "They were singing songs."
- The passive voice of this sentence would be "Songs were being sung by them."
- Let's analyze the other options to understand why they are incorrect:
- Option A:
Songs are singing by them.
This option is incorrect because songs cannot sing on their own; they need someone to sing them.- Option C:
Songs were singing by them.
This option is incorrect because songs are not capable of singing; it is the people who sing the songs.- Option D:
Songs are being sung by them.
This option is incorrect because the original sentence is in the past tense ("They were singing songs"), so the passive voice should also be in the past tense ("Songs were being sung by them").In conclusion, the correct passive voice form of the sentence "They were singing songs" is "Songs were being sung by them."

Aurora Institute answered |
The correct answer is option B: Some letters were written by her.
Explanation:
- The sentence states that "she wrote some letters." This tells us that the action of writing the letters was done by "her."
- In English grammar, when we want to express that an action was done by someone, we use the passive voice. The passive voice is formed by using a form of the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb.
- Let's analyze the options provided:
Option A: Some letters had written by her.
- This option uses the past perfect tense, which is not appropriate in this context. The subject "letters" cannot write themselves.
Option B: Some letters were written by her.
- This option uses the past tense and the passive voice correctly. It conveys the meaning that the letters were written by her.
Option C: Some letters have written by her.
- This option uses the present perfect tense, which is not suitable here. The subject "letters" cannot write themselves.
Option D: Some letters are written by her.
- This option uses the present tense and the passive voice. While it is grammatically correct, it does not match the past tense context of the sentence.
In conclusion, option B is the correct answer as it accurately conveys the meaning that she wrote the letters.

c)

d)

Aurora Institute answered |
To determine the correct sentence structure for the given statement, "I ate a mango," we need to identify the appropriate verb tense and voice.
The verb tense in the statement is past tense, indicating that the action of eating the mango has already happened. The voice of the sentence should be passive since the focus is on the mango being eaten, rather than the person who ate it.
Among the options provided, the correct answer is B: A mango was eaten by me. Here's why:
Explanation:
- In the given sentence, "I ate a mango," the subject is "I" and the object is "a mango."
- To change the sentence to passive voice, the object "a mango" becomes the subject, and the verb "ate" needs to be changed to its past participle form.
- The correct passive voice sentence would be "A mango was eaten."
- To make it clear who performed the action, we add the prepositional phrase "by me" at the end of the sentence.
- Therefore, the correct sentence in passive voice is "A mango was eaten by me."
Key Points:
- The correct sentence structure is in passive voice.
- The verb "ate" is changed to its past participle form, "eaten."
- The subject "I" becomes the object in the passive voice sentence.
- The prepositional phrase "by me" indicates who performed the action.

Shiksha Academy answered |
The beggar was laughed at by the boys.
Explanation: The passive voice of a sentence is formed by making the object of the active voice sentence into the subject of the passive voice sentence. In the active voice sentence "The boys laughed at the beggar," "the beggar" is the object of the verb "laughed." In the passive voice sentence "The beggar was laughed at by the boys," "the beggar" is the subject of the verb "was laughed at." The past participle of the verb "laugh" is "laughed," and the helping verb "was" is used to indicate past tense. The subject "the boys" becomes the object of the preposition "by" and is mentioned at the end of the sentence. The other sentences are incorrect because:
- "is being" is present continuous form of passive voice and not past form.
- "were" is plural and not match with subject "beggar" which is singular.
- "are being" is present continuous form of passive voice and not past form.

By whom has the thief been seen?
|
|
Aurora Institute answered |
The correct answer is option C: "By whom was the thief seen?"
Here is a detailed explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
- The subject "thief" is singular, so the verb "seen" should also be singular. This eliminates options A and D, which use "has" instead of "was".
Passive Voice:
- The sentence is in passive voice, which means the focus is on the action being done to the subject ("thief") rather than the doer of the action.
- The correct structure for a passive sentence is "object + auxiliary verb + past participle + subject". In this case, the object is "thief" and the auxiliary verb is "was" or "were".
- Option B, "By whom was the thief been seen?", is incorrect because it uses the past participle "been" unnecessarily. The correct structure should be "By whom was the thief seen?"

Varun hoped to succeed his father.
- Identify the verb phrase: to succeed (here it means “to take the place of” or “to follow after”).
- Find the object of the verb: Who is Varun hoping to succeed? → his father.
- So, his father is the object.
-
- Change to passive voice:
- In passive, the object (his father) becomes the subject.
- “to succeed his father” → changes to → “his father to be succeeded by him.”
-
- Reconstruct the sentence:
- Varun hoped his father to be succeeded by him.

Option A:
Radha could be helped.
- This sentence suggests that Radha has the ability to be helped, but it doesn't specify who could help her.

Explanation:
To rephrase the sentence "I do not use soap," we need to use the correct verb tense and structure. The correct answer is option A: "Soap is not used by me."
Here's the breakdown and explanation of each option:
A: Soap is not used by me.
- This option is the correct rephrasing of the original sentence.
- It uses the passive voice to indicate that soap is not used by the speaker.
- The verb tense is present simple passive.
B: Soap did not use by me.
- This option is incorrect because it uses the incorrect verb tense.
- The verb "use" should be in the past tense, but "did not use" is awkward and incorrect.
C: Soap has not been used by me.
- This option is incorrect because it uses the present perfect passive tense.
- While the tense is correct, the sentence structure is not natural.
- The passive voice is not necessary in this context.
D: Soap was not used by me.
- This option is incorrect because it uses the past simple passive tense.
- The verb tense is incorrect as it should be in the present tense.
In conclusion, the correct rephrasing of the sentence "I do not use soap" is "Soap is not used by me."

The correct answer is D:
A snake was seen by me.
Explanation:
To identify the correct answer, let's analyze each option:
A:
A snake was seen by us.
- The subject in the given sentence is "I", not "us". Therefore, option A is incorrect.
B:
A snake had seen by me.
- The sentence is in the past tense, so using "had seen" is incorrect. The correct form is "was seen". Hence, option B is incorrect.
C:
A snake is seen by me.
- The sentence is in the past tense, so using "is seen" (present tense) is incorrect. The correct form is "was seen". Therefore, option C is incorrect.
D:
A snake was seen by me.
- This option correctly uses the past tense and the correct subject "me". The sentence structure is also accurate. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
In summary, the correct option is D:
A snake was seen by me.

To determine the correct sentence structure, we need to identify the grammatically correct form of the question. Let's analyze each option:
A:
Was a story wrote by her?
This option is grammatically incorrect because it uses the past tense of the verb "to write" instead of the past participle "written." The correct form should be "written by her," not "wrote by her."
B:
Did a story written by her?
This option is also grammatically incorrect because it uses the verb "written" in its past participle form without an auxiliary verb. The correct form should include the auxiliary verb "was" or "is" to form the passive voice.
C:
Was a story written by her?
This option is grammatically correct. It uses the auxiliary verb "was" to form the passive voice, followed by the subject "a story" and the past participle "written." The question structure is correct, making this the most suitable choice.
D:
Does a story written by her?
This option is grammatically incorrect because it uses the present tense of the verb "to do" instead of the past tense "did" or the auxiliary verb "was." Additionally, it uses the past participle "written" without an auxiliary verb. The correct form should be "Did a story written by her?"
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: Was a story written by her?
