Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
By whom were you pushed into the mud?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Who pushed you into the mud?
Passive form: By whom were you pushed into the mud?
- In the given sentence, 'were + V3' has been used, which implies that the active form should contain 'past participle'.
- 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.
- As the sentence is an interrogative sentence, so the word 'who' will be used.
The active form will be: Who pushed you into the mud?
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Who pushed you into the mud?
