A lifeguard rescued Molly and her family.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Molly and her family were rescued by a lifeguard.
- In the passive voice, the subject of the active voice sentence ('Molly and her family') becomes the receiver of the action.
- The object ('the lifeguard') becomes the doer of the action.
- This construction shifts the focus from the lifeguard to Molly and her family, who are the ones being rescued.
Hence, thhe correct sentence would be Molly and her family were rescued by a lifeguard.
