Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

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

Arvind delivered the packet at the address given by Asha.

Options:

The packet had been delivered at the address given by Arvind.

The packet was being delivered by Arvind at the address given by Asha.

The packet was delivered by Arvind at the address given by Asha.

Asha delivered the packet at the address given by Arvind.

Correct Answer:

The packet was delivered by Arvind at the address given by Asha.

Explanation:

The correct option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice is The packet was delivered by Arvind at the address given by Asha.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The packet had been delivered at the address given by Arvind uses the past perfect tense, while the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
  • The packet was being delivered by Arvind at the address given by Asha uses the present progressive tense, which is not typically used for actions that happen once.
  • Asha delivered the packet at the address given by Arvind is in the active voice, not the passive voice.
