Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

Ravi drove the car towards the highway for a trial run.

Options:

The car was driving towards the highway for a trial run by Ravi.

The car had driven towards the highway for a trial run by Ravi.

The car had been driven for a trial run by Ravi towards the highway.

The car was driven towards the highway for a trial run by Ravi.

Correct Answer:

The car was driven towards the highway for a trial run by Ravi.

Explanation:

The correct option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice is The car was driven towards the highway for a trial run by Ravi.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The car was driving towards the highway for a trial run by Ravi uses the present progressive tense, which is not typically used for actions that happen once.
  • The car had driven towards the highway for a trial run by Ravi uses the past perfect tense, while the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
  • The car had been driven for a trial run by Ravi towards the highway uses the past perfect tense and the preposition "towards" after the verb "to be," which is not grammatically correct.
