Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
"She may have told them the truth."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Active to passive voice conversion:
Active Structure: Subject (She) + Modal (may) + have + past participle (told) + Indirect Object (them) + Direct Object (the truth).
Passive Conversion: When converting a modal perfect active voice ("may have + V3") to passive, the structure becomes "modal + have + been + V3".
Verb Adjustment: The active verb "may have told" changes to "may have been told" in the passive voice.
Object Placement: "The truth" becomes the new subject, and the indirect object "them" is preceded by the preposition "to" for grammatical clarity.
Passive voice: The truth may have been told to them.
