Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct Passive form of the given sentence.

 

He did not ring the bell.

Options:

The bell was not rung by him.

The bell is not rung by him.

The bell has not been rung by him.

The bell had not been rung by him.

Correct Answer:

The bell was not rung by him.

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 1 -The bell was not rung by him.

  1. Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject of the active sentence ("He") becomes the object of the passive sentence. The verb "did not ring" is changed to its passive form "was not rung."
  2. Agent: The object of the active sentence ("the bell") becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
  3. By Preposition: The preposition "by" is introduced to indicate the agent of the action. In this case, it is "by him."

Therefore, the passive sentence correctly reflects the same meaning as the active sentence, but with a different emphasis on the subject and the agent of the action.
