Choose the option which contains the correct passive/active voice of t...
The given sentence "The peon refused him admittance" is in the active voice. We need to convert it into the passive voice.
The passive voice of a sentence is formed by making the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence and using the appropriate form of the verb "to be" along with the past participle form of the main verb.
Let's analyze the options:
A:
He was refused admittance by the peon.
- This option correctly converts the active sentence into the passive voice. The object "him" becomes the subject "he" in the passive voice and the verb "refused" is changed to "was refused".
B:
Admittance is refused to him by the peon.
- This option is in the passive voice but it changes the meaning of the sentence. The original sentence does not mention anything about "admittance being refused to him". It simply states that the peon refused him admittance.
C:
Admittance was refused by the peon to him.
- This option is incorrect as it changes the word order and adds "to him" at the end, which is not present in the original sentence.
D:
Admittance is refused him by the peon.
- This option is also incorrect as it does not use the correct form of the verb "to be". It should be "is refused by the peon" instead of "is refused him".
Therefore, the correct passive voice of the given sentence is option A: "He was refused admittance by the peon."
