Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The visitors’ questions are always answered by the tour guide.

  • Active Voice: "The tour guide (subject) always answers (verb) the visitors’ questions (object)."
  • Passive Voice: "The visitors’ questions (subject) are always answered (passive verb) by the tour guide (agent)."
  • In the passive voice sentence, the focus is on what happens to the visitors’ questions rather than on who performs the action.

  • Therefore, "The visitors’ questions are always answered by the tour guide" is the correct option to express the sentence in passive voice.
