Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (C) and (E) only
In the active voice the subject does the action. In the passive voice the subject receives it, and the verb is a form of be + past participle.
(A) When I reached work, he was on a call — Active.
- "I reached" and "he was" have the doers as subjects.
- There is no be + past participle.
(B) She was gifted a brand new car — Passive.
- "Was gifted" = be + past participle.
- She received the gift.
(C) Everybody is aware of the truth — Active.
- "Is" is a linking verb followed by the adjective "aware".
- Nothing is done to the subject.
(D) Ravi has been called for a viva — Passive.
- "Has been called" = present perfect passive.
- Someone called Ravi.
(E) They called her childish — Active.
- The subject "They" does the calling.
