A sentence has been given in Active/Passive voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested below, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active voice.
This dress cannot be worn by me any longer.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
I cannot wear this dress any longer.
Explanation:
- I cannot wear this dress any longer.: This active construction correctly reverses the subject and object, forming the passive voice while maintaining the original meaning.
- Wearing of this dress any longer is not possible.: This construction changes the sentence structure and doesn't maintain the same wording and tone as the original sentence.
- This dress is too worn out to be worn any longer.: This construction changes the sentence structure and introduces a different reason for not wearing the dress, which is not present in the original sentence.
- This worn out dress cannot be worn any longer.: This passive construction correctly maintains the original wording and tone while forming the passive voice.
