    A traffic policeman fined Taru for jumping the red light.

    Solutions

    The given sentence is of the past tense and is in the active voice, as the form of the verb (‘fined’) shows that its subject (‘traffic policeman’) was doing something and was ‘active’.

    It can be changed to the passive voice, where something can be done by the subject.

    The structures for active/passive voices are:

    Active Voice: Subject + V2 + object

    Passive Voice: Object+ was/were + V3+ by + subject

    In order to do that,

    1. The object of the transitive verb in the active voice should become the subject of the verb in the Passive voice. Taru becomes the subject in the passive voice.

    2. Add the appropriate form of the verb 'be' to the sentence and use the past participle of the verb. The given sentence is in the past tense. Therefore, 'fined' is converted to ‘was fined'.

    3. Add a 'by' followed by the doer of the action.

    Thus, the same sentence in the Passive voice is ‘Taru was fined by a traffic policeman for jumping the red light’.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.
