Question:

Select the appropriate option to convert the given statement into Passive Voice-

"He handed her a cheque".

Options:

A cheque was handed to her.

A cheque has been handed to her.

A cheque is being handed to her.

She has been handed a cheque.

Correct Answer:

A cheque was handed to her.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → A cheque was handed to her.

  1. The given sentence "He handed her a cheque" is in the simple past tense (verb: handed).
  2. In passive voice, the object (a cheque) becomes the subject.
  3. The correct structure for simple past passive is:
    Object + was/were + past participle + (by subject, if necessary).
  4. Applying this, the correct transformation is:
    "A cheque was handed to her."

A cheque was handed to her.
