Which of the following sentences is in the passive voice?

The correct answer is Option (4) → Ritika got selected for the state hockey team by the selectors.

Passive voice:

In Option 4, Ritika does not do the selecting. The selectors choose her. The verb “got selected” is get + past participle (V3), and “by the selectors” names the doer, so the sentence is in the passive voice. “Got selected” means the same as “was selected”.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: The little boy has grown much taller since the summer holidays. — Incorrect. “Has grown” is has + V3 with no “been”. The boy himself grows, so this is active.

Option 2: The guests had been waiting at the station for an hour. — Incorrect. “Had been waiting” is had been + verb-ing. The guests do the waiting, so this is active.

Option 3: Our team has won the inter-school quiz once again. — Incorrect. “Has won” is has + V3 with no “been”. The team does the winning, so this is active.
