SSC CGL Tier II English - 20/02/2018 • English • Q193

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 hammer hit the nail on its head.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The nail was hit by the hammer on its head.

Active voice- Subject + V2 + Object + other word

Passive voice- Subject + Was/were + V3 + by agent + other word

The sentence is in the simple past tense because 'hammer' is a singular subject so it will take either 'hits' (present) or 'hit' (past).

All the three forms of 'hit' are same.

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