  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice. 

    They will not water the plants.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The plants will not be watered by them.

    • The original sentence is in active voice, with the subject "they" performing the action of not watering the plants.
    • To convert the sentence into passive voice, the object of the active sentence (plants) becomes the subject of the passive sentence, and the subject of the active sentence (they) becomes the agent (or is omitted).
    • The verb "will not water" is changed to the passive form "will not be watered."

    Therefore, "The plants will not be watered by them." is the correct expression of the sentence in passive voice.

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice. 

    Most of Earth's surface is covered by water.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Water covers most of Earth's surface.

    • The original sentence "Most of Earth's surface is covered by water" is in passive voice because the subject ("Earth's surface") is acted upon by the verb ("is covered").

    • In contrast, the selected option "Water covers most of Earth's surface" is in active voice because the subject ("Water") performs the action of covering ("covers") the object ("most of Earth's surface").

    • Therefore, the selected option transforms the sentence from passive to active voice.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

    What are you writing?

    Solutions

    The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. What is being written by you?

    Active voice- What + is/am/are + subject + v4 + other words.

    Passive voice- What + is/am/are + being + v3 + by + subject + other words.

    As the chosen option follows this structure it will be correct.

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

    He does not trust anybody.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Nobody is trusted by him.

    • The sentence is an assertive sentence.
    • It is in the Simple Present Tense.
    • Structure:
      • Active: Subject + do/does + not + V1 + object…
      • Passive: Object + Is/are/am + not + verb (IIIrd form) + by + subject…

    Note: In the case of "anybody" we change it to "nobody" in the passive voice and hence, "not" is not used. 

    Thus, the correct passive form of the given sentence is:

    Nobody is trusted by him.
