Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
The manager explained the latest assignment to Lana.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The latest assignment was explained to Lana by the manager.
- In the passive voice, the sentence is constructed so that the object of the sentence (the latest assignment) becomes the subject of the sentence, and the doer of the action (the manager) is either omitted or mentioned as an afterthought.
- The verb "explain" is changed to its past participle form "explained", and the appropriate form of the verb "to be" (in this case "was") is used as an auxiliary verb.
Thus, the correct form of passive voice is:
The latest assignment was explained to Lana by the manager.
