Question

Answer

- Context: The sentence given is 'She met him yesterday.' We need to choose the correct passive voice form of the sentence.
- The passive voice is used when the subject of the sentence is acted upon by the verb, rather than performing the action themselves.
- In passive voice constructions, the subject of the sentence receives the action, while the agent (the doer of the action) is often placed after the verb or omitted entirely.
- Let's analyze the options given:

a) He met by her yesterday.
- This option is incorrect because it is in active voice, where the subject 'he' is performing the action 'met.'

b) He was met by her yesterday.
- This option is correct. It is in passive voice, where the subject 'he' is receiving the action 'was met' by the agent 'her.'

c) He was being met by her yesterday.
- This option is incorrect because it uses the continuous form 'was being met,' which implies an ongoing action. The sentence refers to a single past event, so the continuous form is not suitable.

d) He is met by her yesterday.
- This option is incorrect because it uses the present tense 'is met' instead of the past tense required by the sentence.

Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' - 'He was met by her yesterday.'
