SSC Stenographer - 11/12/2024 (12:30 PM to 2:30 PM) • English • Q60

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

Mr. Suman opened the door.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The door was opened by Mr. Suman.

The original sentence “Mr. Suman opened the door.” is in the simple past tense.

To convert to passive voice in simple past, the structure is:
“The [object] + was/were + past participle + by [subject].”

Here, “The door” is the object, and “opened” is the past participle of “open.”

Option 2 correctly follows this structure.

Option 1 is present tense, not past.

Option 3 is present continuous tense.

Option 4 is past continuous tense.
