Akhila was gave a bouquet of lilies on her birthday by Sai Kumari.

Akhila is given a bouquet of lilies on her birthday by Sai Kumari.

Akhila gave a bouquet of lilies on her birthday to Sai Kumari.

Correct Answer:

Akhila was given a bouquet of lilies on her birthday by Sai Kumari.

Explanation:

The correct passive form of the given sentence "Sai Kumari gave Akhila a bouquet of lilies on her birthday" is Akhila was given a bouquet of lilies on her birthday by Sai Kumari.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Akhila was gave a bouquet of lilies on her birthday by Sai Kumari is grammatically incorrect. The verb "gave" is in the past tense, but it is not used correctly in the passive voice.
  • Akhila is given a bouquet of lilies on her birthday by Sai Kumari uses the present tense, while the original sentence is in the past tense.
  • Akhila gave a bouquet of lilies on her birthday to Sai Kumari is in the active voice, not the passive voice.
