Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

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

The central team visited eight villages in the state to assess the damage to the crops.

Options:

The damage to the crops was assessed in eight villages in the state by the central team.

Eight villages in the state were visited by the central team to assess the damage to the crops.

Eight villages had visited the central team to assess the damage to the crops.

The central team assessed the damage to the crops in eight villages in the state.

Correct Answer:

Eight villages in the state were visited by the central team to assess the damage to the crops.

Explanation:

Active Voice: "The central team visited eight villages in the state to assess the damage to the crops."

⇒ In the active voice, the subject (the central team) performs the action (visited) on the object (eight villages).

Passive Voice: "Eight villages in the state were visited by the central team to assess the damage to the crops."

In the passive voice, the object of the active sentence (eight villages) becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb "visited" changes to its passive form ("were visited"), and the agent of the action (the central team) is introduced with the preposition "by."
