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.
We have kept the bird in the cage too long.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The bird has been kept in the cage by us for too long.
Active voice- Subject + has/have + V3 + Object
Passive voice- Subject + has/have + been + V3 + by agent
- An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
- Since 'the bird' answers 'what', it is the object here which should be the subject in the passive voice.
As the chosen option follows the above structure it will be correct.
