Humayun built a city named Dinpanah in 1533 in Delhi.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. A city named Dinpanah was built by Humayun in 1533 in Delhi.
- The correct passive form "A city named Dinpanah was built by Humayun in 1533 in Delhi" is used because it shifts the focus from the subject (Humayun) to the object (the city).
- In the passive voice, "was built" is the past tense of the verb "build", and "by Humayun" indicates the original doer of the action.
- This transformation maintains the original meaning while emphasizing the city and its creation rather than the person who built it.
