Change the following from active to passive:
Does the code of ethics prohibit members from accepting gifts?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To convert a question in the Simple Present Tense from active to passive voice, we follow these steps:
Identify the Tense: The word "Does" indicates the sentence is in the Simple Present Tense.
Identify the Object: The object is "members." In the passive voice, this becomes the new subject.
Auxiliary Verb Selection: Since the new subject ("members") is plural, we use the auxiliary verb "Are."
Passive Formula: For Simple Present interrogatives, the structure is:Is/Are + Object + V3
(Past Participle) + by + Subject + rest of the sentence?
