Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
"They have discussed the issue already."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Transformation from active to passive voice:
Identify the Tense: The original sentence is in the Present Perfect tense (have discussed).
Object becomes Subject: The object "the issue" moves to the beginning of the sentence.
Apply Passive Structure: For the Present Perfect tense, the passive structure is has/have + been + past participle (V3). Since "the issue" is singular, we use has been discussed.
Subject becomes Agent: The original subject "they" becomes "by them" at the end of the sentence.
Passive voice: The issue has been discussed already by them.
