Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Which one of the following is the correct Passive form of the sentence?

This box contains sweets.

Options:

Sweets are in the container.

Sweets is contained in the box.

Sweets are contained into the box.

Sweets are contained in the box.

Correct Answer:

Sweets are contained in the box.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - Sweets are contained in the box.

The correct passive form of the sentence "This box contains sweets." is: Sweets are contained in the box.

  • In passive voice, the focus shifts from the subject (the box) to the object (sweets).
  • The verb "contains" is transformed into "are contained" to reflect this change.
  • The correct preposition is "in" rather than "into," making the last option correct.
