Change the following sentence from active to passive voice:
Careless driving causes many accidents.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) - Many accidents are caused by careless driving.
The given sentence is in the active voice:
"Careless driving causes many accidents."
To change it to passive voice:
- Identify the object: "many accidents"
- Identify the verb: "causes" (simple present tense)
- Convert the verb to passive form: "are caused" (since "accidents" is plural)
- Retain the subject as the agent introduced by "by": "by careless driving."
Thus, the correct passive sentence is: "Many accidents are caused by careless driving."
