Change the following from active to passive:
Has anyone ever challenged this constitutional clause?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Has this constitutional clause ever been challenged?
Concept: Active to Passive Voice
Explanation:
The active sentence is in the present perfect tense:
“Has anyone ever challenged this constitutional clause?”
Rule:
Has/Have + been + V³
In passive voice:
Object “this constitutional clause” becomes the subject, and the verb changes to “been challenged.”
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
“Has this constitutional clause ever challenged?” is incorrect because “challenged” cannot be used directly without “been” in passive voice.
“Has this constitutional clause ever be challenged?” is incorrect because “be” should be “been.”
“Has this constitutional clause ever had been challenged?” is incorrect because “had been” changes the tense unnecessarily.
Final Answer:
“Has this constitutional clause ever been challenged?”
