In the following question, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active voice.

He had kept up his training regimen for a month.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. His training regimen had been kept up by him for a month.

Active voice- Subject + had + V3 + Object

Passive voice- Subject + had+ been + V3 + by agent

  • An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
  • Since 'his training regimen' answers 'what', it is the object here which should be the subject in the passive voice.

As the chosen option follows the above structure it will be correct.
