Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

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

You never hear of a happy billionaire.

Options:

A happy billionaire is never heard of.

A happy billionaire never heard of.

A happy billionaire is never heard by you.

No one hears a happy billionaire.

Correct Answer:

A happy billionaire is never heard of.

Explanation:

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.
