Why should I be suspect by you?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option four i.e. "I be suspected".
The verb "be" is used with the third form (past participle) of the verb "suspect" to improve the sentence.
"Be suspected" is an example of the passive voice. In the passive voice, the focus is on the action being performed on the subject rather than who is performing the action.
The passive construction involves the auxiliary verb "be" followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, "be" + "suspected" forms the passive voice.
Hence, the correct answer would be I be suspected.
