Select the option that correctly expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

Mr. Amar refused him admittance.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Admittance was refused to him by Mr. Amar.

 

The sentence "Admittance was refused to him by Mr. Amar" is in passive voice because:

  1. The object of the active sentence ("admittance") becomes the subject in the passive construction.
  2. The verb "refused" is changed to "was refused" to match the passive voice structure.
  3. The person performing the action (Mr. Amar) is introduced with "by."
  4. "To him" remains in the sentence to show who was affected by the action.

In passive voice, the focus shifts from the doer (Mr. Amar) to the action's recipient (him), and the word order changes accordingly.
