Choose the correct passive voice transformation of the sentence:
My brother built this house in 2005.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The original sentence, 'My brother built this house in 2005,' is in the active voice and uses the simple past tense ('built'). To transform it into the passive voice, the object ('this house') becomes the subject, and the verb tense must remain the simple past. The correct structure for the simple past passive is 'was/were' + past participle of the main verb ('built').
Option (A) has this structure.
