Sentences are given in the active voice. Change them into passive voi...
To change the given sentence from active voice to passive voice, we need to focus on the following points:
1. Identify the subject, verb, and object in the active sentence.
- Subject: Mona
- Verb: was writing
- Object: a letter to her father
2. Make the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence.
- A letter
3. Change the verb to its passive form. The passive form of "was writing" is "was being written".
4. Add the past participle of the verb "write" (written) after the verb "was being written".
5. Include the preposition "by" before the subject of the active sentence.
Now, let's analyze the given options:
A: A letter was written to her father by Mona.
- This option correctly changes the sentence to passive voice, but the verb form is incorrect. It should be "was being written" instead of "was written".
B: A letter has been written to her father by Mona.
- This option changes the tense of the sentence to present perfect passive voice, which is not required as the original sentence is in the past tense. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
C: A letter was being written by Mona to her father.
- This option correctly changes the sentence to passive voice, using the correct verb form "was being written". It also maintains the original tense of the sentence. Hence, this is the correct answer.
D: A letter was written by Mona to her father.
- This option changes the sentence to passive voice using the correct verb form "was written", but it changes the order of the prepositional phrase. The correct order should be "to her father by Mona". Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Answer: Option C
- A letter was being written by Mona to her father.
