Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
He was hit in the eye by an arrow
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. An arrow hit him in the eye.
Passive form: He was hit in the eye by an arrow.
- In the given sentence, 'was + hit' has been used, which implies that the active form should contain 'past participle form i.e. hit'. (Rule for changing simple past tense)
- Now, simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
- Remove the word 'by' when converting into active form.
- Lastly, change the pronoun i.e. he to him while converting it into active form.
The active form will be: An arrow hit him in the eye.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. An arrow hit him in the eye.
