From the alternatives given below, select the correct passive voice of the following sentence. The shopkeeper must have misguided the customers to purchase the faulty watches.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The original sentence is in the active voice: "The shopkeeper must have misguided the customers..."
The subject is "The shopkeeper," and the object is "the customers."
To form the passive voice, the object becomes the subject: "The customers."
The verb phrase "must have misguided" (modifying verb in perfect tense) changes to "must have been misguided" in the passive voice.
The original subject ("the shopkeeper") follows "by" at the end of the main clause.
The rest of the sentence ("to purchase the faulty watches") remains the same.
Option ‘B’ correctly reflects these changes.
