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.
The bullet hit the soldier in the arm.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The soldier was hit in the arm by the bullet.
Active voice- Subject + V2 + Object
Passive voice- Subject + was/were + V3 + by agent
- An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
- Since 'the soldier ' answers 'whom', it is the object here which should be the subject in the passive voice.
- All the three forms of 'hit' are same.
As the chosen option follows the above structure it will be correct.
