Select the correct Active/Passive form of the given sentence.
Rain disrupted the 5th day’s play of WTC final.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct Active/Passive form of the given sentence is:
☀ The 5th day of WTC final was disrupted by rain.
Explanation:
-
WTC final was disrupted by rain on 5th day. This option is in the passive voice, but the word order is not correct. The correct passive structure should be "WTC final was disrupted by rain on the 5th day." The preposition "on" should come before "the 5th day" to indicate the time of the disruption.
-
The 5th day of WTC final were disrupted by rain. This option is in the passive voice, but the verb "were" is incorrect. The correct form is "was" because "the 5th day" is singular.
-
WTC final had been disrupted on 5th day by rain. This option is in the passive voice, but it uses the past perfect tense ("had been disrupted") which is unnecessary. The simple past tense ("was disrupted") is more appropriate in this context.
-
The 5th day of WTC final was disrupted by rain. This option is the correct Passive form of the given sentence. The subject of the active sentence ("Rain") becomes the agent of the passive sentence ("by rain"), and the object of the active sentence ("the 5th day's play of WTC final") becomes the subject of the passive sentence ("The 5th day of WTC final"). The verb "was disrupted" matches the singular subject "The 5th day."
