From the alternatives given below, select the correct passive voice of the following sentence. The strong current of the river broke through the wall of the earthen dam within no time.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The original sentence is in the simple past tense ("broke"). To convert it to the passive voice, the object of the active sentence ("the wall of the earthen dam") becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb is changed to "was broken through" to match the tense and verb phrase of the original sentence. Option (B) correctly maintains the full phrasal verb "broke through" in its passive form "was broken through".
