Choose the correct passive voice transformation of the sentence:
Did she read the book?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The original sentence, 'Did she read the book?', is an interrogative sentence in the simple past tense (indicated by 'Did' and the base form 'read').
To transform it into the passive voice while maintaining the interrogative structure and simple past tense:
The object ('the book') becomes the subject.
The auxiliary verb 'be' is used in the simple past tense (was/were) and placed at the beginning to form a question.
The main verb ('read') is changed to its past participle form ('read').
The original subject ('she') becomes the object of the preposition 'by' ('by her').
Option (C) follows this structure correctly.
