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.

I have poured the tea.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The tea has been poured by me.

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 tea' 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.
