Select the appropriate option to convert the given statement into Passive Voice-
"He handed her a cheque".
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A cheque was handed to her.
- The given sentence "He handed her a cheque" is in the simple past tense (verb: handed).
- In passive voice, the object (a cheque) becomes the subject.
- The correct structure for simple past passive is:
Object + was/were + past participle + (by subject, if necessary). - Applying this, the correct transformation is:
"A cheque was handed to her."
A cheque was handed to her.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option 2 → present perfect tense
- Option 3 → present continuous passive
- Option 4 → present perfect passive
