Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Transformation from active to passive voice:
Tense Identification: The original sentence "She cleaned the house yesterday" is in the Simple Past tense.
Passive Structure: To convert Simple Past into passive voice, the formula is: Object + was/were + past participle (V3) + by + Subject.
Application:
The object "the house" becomes the new subject.
Since "the house" is singular, we use "was."
The past participle of "cleaned" remains "cleaned."
The subject "she" changes to the object pronoun "her" following "by."
The time indicator "yesterday" remains at the end.
Passive voice: The house was cleaned by her yesterday.
