Directions: Fill in the blanks with the correct options.Q. This story ...
Explanation:
This question is testing your understanding of passive voice in English grammar. When a sentence is in passive voice, the subject of the sentence is not the doer of the action, but rather the receiver of the action.
Key Points:
- In the sentence "This story is written by the famous author," the subject is "This story," and the action of writing is being done to the story by the famous author.
- The verb "is written" is in the passive voice, indicating that the story did not write itself, but rather someone (the famous author) wrote it.
- The correct option is 'D) is written' because it correctly uses the passive voice to show that the story was written by the famous author.
In summary, when identifying passive voice in a sentence, look for forms of the verb "to be" (such as "is," "was," "were") followed by the past participle form of the main verb. This structure indicates that the subject is receiving the action rather than performing it.
