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.

Sushmita divorced her husband.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Her husband was divorced by Sushmita.

Active voice- Subject + V2 + Object

Passive voice- Subject + was/were + V3 + by agent

  • An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
  • 'Her husband' answers 'whom' and hence is the object of the active voice which is required to change into the subject of the passive voice.

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