Identify the correct Passive Voice form of the following sentence:-
'Her colleagues laughed at her".
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → She was laughed at by her colleagues.
Here's why:
- The original sentence is in the active voice, where "Her colleagues" (the subject) perform the action "laughed" on "her" (the object).
- In the passive voice, the focus shifts to the object (the one receiving the action).
- So, "She" becomes the subject in the passive voice, and "her colleagues" becomes the agent performing the action, introduced by "by."
