Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Autobiographies are written by people for various reasons.
Active form: People write autobiographies for various reasons.
Rules for changing Active form to Passive from:
- Simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
- Use the word “by” before the subject in the passive sentence.
- Now, the given sentence is in simple present tense. When the active form is in "base form or V1 + -s/es" form then the passive voice should follow the format "is/are/am + V3" form.
- The word 'autobiographies' is a plural subject in passive voice, therefore, 'are' will be used.
The passive form will be: Autobiographies are written by people for various reasons.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Autobiographies are written by people for various reasons.
