Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The victims of the violence were treated very carefully by the doctor.

  • To convert the sentence "The doctor treated the victims of the violence very carefully" into passive voice, we need to rearrange it so that the object of the action becomes the subject of the sentence.
  • The passive voice version is "The victims of the violence were treated very carefully by the doctor." Here, "The victims of the violence" becomes the subject of the sentence, and "were treated" is the passive verb phrase, with "by the doctor" indicating the original doer of the action.
  • This shift emphasizes the recipients of the action (the victims) rather than the one performing it (the doctor).
