To convert an active voice question into passive voice, follow these steps:

"Why does the playwright use other images and motifs in the play?"

1. Identify the subject, verb, and object:

   • Subject: the playwright
   • Verb: use
   • Object: other images and motifs

2. Move the object to the subject position:

   • "Other images and motifs" becomes the new subject.

3. Change the verb form:

   • The verb "use" in present simple tense (does use) changes to "are used" in the passive voice.

4. Retain the question structure:

   • "Why" remains at the beginning.

Correct Passive Voice Sentence: "Why are other images and motifs used by the playwright in the play?"

• A. "Why are the images and motifs used in the play?"  → Incorrect because it removes the playwright from the sentence.
• B. "What are other images and motifs used by the playwright in the play?"  → Incorrect because "What" changes the meaning of the question.
• D. "Why were other images and motifs used by the playwright in the play?"  → Incorrect because "were" changes the tense to past, while the original sentence is in present tense ("does use").
