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.
People drink champagne on New Year’s Eve.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Champagne is drunk on New Year’s Eve.
Active voice- Subject + V1/V5 + Object
Passive voice- Subject + Is/Am/Are + V3 + by agent
- An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
- Since 'champagne ' answers 'what', it is the object here which should be the subject in the passive voice.
- The third form of 'drink' is 'drunk'.
As the chosen option follows the above structure it will be correct.
