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.
I applied band-aid to the wound.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Band-aid was applied by me to the wound.
Active voice- Subject + V2 + Object
Passive voice- Subject + was/were + V3 + by agent
- An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
- 'Band-aid' answers 'what' and hence is the object of the active voice which changes into the subject of the passive voice.
- 'Apply' is the main verb which changes into its third form i.e. 'applied'.
As the chosen option follows the above structure it will be correct.
