Q. Certain advertisements endanger the safety of children.

a)
Adver tisemen ts en danger th e safety of children.
b)
The safety of children is endanger ed by certain advertisements.
c)

Answer

The correct passive form of the given sentence 'Certain advertisements endanger the safety of children' is option B: 'The safety of children is endangered by certain advertisements.'
Explanation:
To convert the active sentence into a passive form, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the subject and the object in the active sentence:
- Subject: Certain advertisements
- Object: the safety of children
2. Move the object to the beginning of the passive sentence and make it the new subject:
- The safety of children
3. Add the 'be' verb in the appropriate tense:
- is (present tense)
4. Add the past participle form of the verb 'endanger':
- endangered
5. Add the preposition 'by' followed by the subject of the active sentence:
- by certain advertisements
Therefore, the correct passive form is 'The safety of children is endangered by certain advertisements.'
Additional Notes:
Option A: 'Advertisements endanger the safety of children' is the active form of the given sentence, not the passive form.
Option C: 'The safety of children was endanger by certain advertisements' contains a grammatical error. The past tense of 'endanger' should be 'endangered,' not 'endanger.'
Option D: 'Certain advertisements are dangerous for children' is a different sentence that conveys a similar meaning but is not the correct passive form of the given sentence.
