Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
Everybody wants others to respect them.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Everybody wants to be respected by others.
- The passive form "Everybody wants to be respected by others" shifts the focus from the doer to the receiver of the action. In the original active sentence, "everybody" is the subject who desires respect from "others."
- When converting to passive voice, "others" becomes the subject performing the action, and "to be respected" describes the action received by "everybody." This change emphasizes the desire for respect rather than who is doing the respecting.
