Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Choose the appropriate Passive Voice for the following sentence:

They released the list of participants for the quiz yesterday.

Options:

For the quiz, the list of participants was released.

They released the list of participants yesterday.

They released the list of participants for the quiz yesterday.

The list of participants for the quiz was released yesterday.

Correct Answer:

The list of participants for the quiz was released yesterday.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - The list of participants for the quiz was released yesterday.

  • In active voice, the subject (They) performs the action.
  • In passive voice, the object (The list of participants) becomes the subject, and the verb changes accordingly.

Active: They released the list of participants for the quiz yesterday.
Passive: The list of participants for the quiz was released yesterday.

  • "was released" → correct passive form of "released" (past simple tense).
  • "yesterday" remains at the end of the sentence for correct word order.
