Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the option that is the passive form of the given sentence.

The police brought a search warrant when they raided his house.

Options:

A search warrant was brought by the police when they raided his house.

A search warrant was brought when they raided his house by the police.

The police had raided his house and brought a search warrant.

A search warrant had been brought when the police raided his house.

Correct Answer:

A search warrant was brought by the police when they raided his house.

Explanation:

The correct passive form of the sentence "The police brought a search warrant when they raided his house" is A search warrant was brought by the police when they raided his house.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • A search warrant was brought when they raided his house by the police places the preposition "by" before the subject of the sentence, which is not grammatically correct.
  • The police had raided his house and brought a search warrant is in the active voice, not the passive voice.
  • A search warrant had been brought when the police raided his house uses the past perfect tense, while the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
