Back to paper

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

They agreed that the elections should be postponed.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. It was agreed by them that the elections should be postponed.

  • The subject in the active sentence is "They," and the action is "agreed."
  • In passive voice, "It" is often used to represent the subject of the sentence in a more general or impersonal way.
  • Since the original verb is "agreed," the passive form uses "was agreed."
  • The phrase "that the elections should be postponed" remains unchanged.

So, the passive voice sentence is: It was agreed that the elections should be postponed.
