Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
You never hear of a happy billionaire.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice is A happy billionaire is never heard of.
The other options are incorrect because:
- A happy billionaire never heard of is in the active voice.
- A happy billionaire is never heard by you is grammatically incorrect. The subject of the sentence is "A happy billionaire," which is not a person. Therefore, the verb "heard" cannot be followed by the preposition "by."
- No one hears a happy billionaire is in the active voice, and it does not emphasize the recipient of the action.
