Test: The Active And Passive Voice- 2 - Class 7 MCQ

To change the given sentence from active to passive voice, we need to focus on the following points:
1. Identify the subject and object:
The subject of the sentence is "the king" and the object is "him".
2. Determine the tense and form of the verb:
The verb in the sentence is "gave", which is in the past tense.
3. Transform the subject into the object and vice versa:
In the passive voice, the subject becomes the object, and the object becomes the subject.
Now, let's analyze each option to find the correct passive voice transformation:
A: A reward was given by him to the king.
- The subject "a reward" is correct in the passive voice.
- The verb "was given" is in the correct past tense.
- However, the active subject "him" is not transformed into the passive object correctly.
B: He was given a reward by a king.
- The subject "he" is correctly transformed into the passive subject.
- The verb "was given" is in the correct past tense.
- The object "a reward" is correctly transformed into the passive object.
C: He was given the reward by a king.
- The subject "he" is correctly transformed into the passive subject.
- The verb "was given" is in the correct past tense.
- The definite article "the" before "reward" is unnecessary in this context.
D: He was given by the king a reward.
- The subject "he" is correctly transformed into the passive subject.
- The verb "was given" is in the correct past tense.
- The placement of "by the king" after "given" is incorrect. It should come before "given".
Based on the analysis, option B: He was given a reward by a king is the correct passive voice transformation of the given sentence.

To convert the given sentence from active to passive voice, we need to follow the subject-verb-object pattern. The object in the active voice sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice sentence, and the verb is transformed into its passive form.
The given sentence is: "I saw him leaving the house."
To change it to passive voice, we have the following options:
A.

He had been seen leaving the house.

This option is incorrect because it uses the past perfect tense, which implies an action that happened before another past action. However, there is no indication of a past action in the original sentence.
B.

He was seen to be leaving the house.

This option is incorrect because it uses the infinitive form "to be leaving," which is not necessary in passive voice constructions.
C.

Leaving the house he was seen by me.

This option is incorrect because it changes the word order and does not follow the subject-verb-object pattern.
D.

He was seen leaving the house by me.

This option is correct because it follows the subject-verb-object pattern in passive voice. The object "him" becomes the subject "he," the verb "saw" changes to "was seen," and the subject "I" becomes the object "by me."
Therefore, the correct transformation of the given sentence into passive voice is option D: "He was seen leaving the house by me."

English is spoken all over the world by people.

The given sentence is in the active voice and we need to change it into the passive voice. The verb "look for" is a phrasal verb, and in the passive voice, we need to use the verb "be" + past participle form of the main verb + preposition "by" + subject.

Active Voice:
Whom does he look for?
Passive Voice Options:
A: He is looked after for whom?
B: Who is looked after for him?
C: Who is looked for by him?
D: He is looked after by whom?
Explanation:
To determine the correct passive voice form, we need to analyze the sentence structure and the meaning of the original sentence.
In the original sentence, "he" is the subject, "does look for" is the verb phrase, and "whom" is the object.
Now, let's analyze each option:
A: He is looked after for whom?
- This option does not maintain the meaning of the original sentence. The phrase "looked after" means to take care of someone, which is different from "look for."
B: Who is looked after for him?
- This option changes the meaning of the sentence. It suggests that someone is being taken care of on behalf of the person mentioned in the original sentence.
C: Who is looked for by him?
- This option correctly maintains the meaning of the original sentence in the passive voice. "Who" is the subject, "is looked for" is the verb phrase, and "by him" indicates the doer of the action.
D: He is looked after by whom?
- This option changes the meaning of the sentence. It suggests that someone is taking care of the person mentioned in the original sentence.
Therefore, option C, "Who is looked for by him?" is the correct passive voice form of the given sentence.

To determine the correct transformation from active to passive voice, we need to identify the subject (the one performing the action) and the object (the one receiving the action) in the given sentence.
The original sentence is: "The thief climbed over the wall without being seen."
Step 1: Identify the subject and object in the active voice sentence:
- Subject: The thief
- Verb: climbed
- Object: the wall
Step 2: Determine the correct passive voice transformation:
- The object in the active voice sentence (the wall) becomes the subject in the passive voice sentence.
- The verb remains the same (climbed).
- The subject in the active voice sentence (the thief) becomes the agent in the by-phrase in the passive voice sentence.
- The prepositional phrase "without being seen" remains the same.
Step 3: Form the passive voice sentence:
- Passive voice sentence: "Without being seen, the wall was climbed over by the thief."
Now, let's analyze the given options:
A: The thief climbed over the wall without anyone seeing him.
- This option changes the sentence structure and adds unnecessary information.
B: Without being seen, the thief climbed over the wall. (Correct)
- This option correctly transforms the active voice sentence into passive voice by maintaining the sentence structure and accurately representing the meaning.
C: The thief was climbed over the wall without being seen.
- This option incorrectly transforms the sentence by using the incorrect verb form and sentence structure.
D: The wall was climbed over by the thief without being seen.
- This option correctly transforms the sentence into passive voice but changes the sentence structure by placing the agent after the verb.
Therefore, the correct transformation from active to passive voice is option B: "Without being seen, the thief climbed over the wall."

The given sentence is in active voice, and we need to convert it into passive voice. Let's analyze the options:
A:

I don’t like being kept waiting.

This option correctly converts the sentence into passive voice. It replaces the direct object "me" with the pronoun "being" and uses the verb "kept" in the passive form. This option is correct.
B:

I don’t like people are kept me waiting.

This option is incorrect because it uses the incorrect verb form "are kept" and places the direct object "me" after it. The correct form should be "are kept waiting."
C:

I don’t like people are being kept waiting.

This option is incorrect because it uses the incorrect verb form "are being kept" and places the direct object "waiting" after it. The correct form should be "being kept waiting."
D:

I don’t like people were kept me waiting.

This option is incorrect because it uses the incorrect verb form "were kept" and places the direct object "me" after it. The correct form should be "were kept waiting."
Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it correctly converts the sentence into passive voice.

To convert the sentence from active to passive voice, we need to rearrange the sentence structure and change the form of the verb. Let's analyze each option to determine the correct passive form of the sentence:
A: I was kept awake by the noise of the traffic.
- This option correctly converts the sentence into passive voice by using the subject "I" as the object of the verb "kept awake." The noise of the traffic is mentioned as the cause of being kept awake.
B: The traffic kept me awake by the noise.
- This option is grammatically incorrect because it does not correctly convert the sentence into passive voice. The phrase "by the noise" should come after "kept awake" to indicate the cause.
C: I remained awake by the noise of the traffic.
- This option is in active voice, not passive voice. It maintains the original subject "I" and does not include the passive form of the verb.
D: I kept myself awake due to the noise of the traffic.
- This option is also in active voice, not passive voice. It maintains the original subject "I" and does not include the passive form of the verb.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: I was kept awake by the noise of the traffic.

The given sentence is in the active voice, and we need to rewrite it in the passive voice. Let's analyze each option to determine the correct passive form:
A: The garbage was first sun-dried for one to three days to bring down the moisture level.
- This option correctly transforms the sentence into the passive voice and maintains the original meaning. The subject "garbage" becomes the object, and the verb "sun-dried" becomes "was sun-dried."
B: The moisture level of the garbage came down when it was sun-dried for one to three days.
- This option changes the meaning of the sentence. It implies that the moisture level decreased on its own when the garbage was sun-dried, which is not the intended meaning. Additionally, the passive form should use the past participle of the verb "sun-dried" instead of the base form.
C: One to three days of sun-drying brought down the moisture level of the garbage.
- This option keeps the active voice and does not correctly transform the sentence into the passive voice. It also changes the word order and does not use the passive form of the verb "sun-dried."
D: The moisture level was brought down by sun-drying the garbage for one to three days.
- This option correctly transforms the sentence into the passive voice, but it changes the word order and does not maintain the original meaning. The original sentence states that the garbage was sun-dried to bring down the moisture level, while this option implies that the moisture level was brought down by the sun-drying process itself.
Therefore, option A is the correct passive form of the given sentence.

To determine whether the given sentence is in the active or passive voice, we need to analyze the structure and the subject-object relationship in the sentence. Let's break down the options provided and identify the correct answer.
A: What I mean is understood by you?
This option is in the passive voice. The subject "What I mean" is the object of the verb "is understood," and "by you" indicates the doer of the action. However, the original sentence is in the active voice, so this option is incorrect.
B: Was what I mean understood by you?
This option is in the passive voice. The subject "what I mean" is the object of the verb "was understood," and "by you" indicates the doer of the action. However, the original sentence is in the active voice, so this option is incorrect.
C: What I mean....is that understood by you?
This option is in the passive voice. The subject "What I mean" is the object of the verb "is understood," and "by you" indicates the doer of the action. However, the original sentence is in the active voice, so this option is incorrect.
D: Is what I mean understood by you?
This option is in the active voice. The subject "what I mean" is the doer of the action, and "by you" indicates the receiver of the action. The verb "is understood" is in the present tense. This option correctly matches the structure and subject-object relationship of the original sentence, making it the correct answer.
Conclusion:
After analyzing the given options, we can conclude that option D, "Is what I mean understood by you?" is the correct sentence in the active voice.

The given sentence is in the active voice, and we need to convert it into the passive voice. Let's analyze the options one by one:
A:

During festivals people throng the shops.

This option is in the active voice, not the passive voice. So, it is incorrect.

The shops are thronged by people making purchases

This option correctly converts the active sentence into the passive voice. The subject "people" becomes the doer of the action, and the object "the shops" becomes the receiver of the action. Hence, this option is correct.
C:

Men, women and children make purchases during festivals.

This option is in the active voice, not the passive voice. So, it is incorrect.
D:

Men, women and children throng the shops before festivals making various purchases.

This option is the original active sentence and not in the passive voice. So, it is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: "The shops are thronged by people making purchases."
