French is taught to us by Miss Glenn.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Miss Glenn teaches us French.

  • In passive voice constructions, the focus is on the recipient of the action rather than the doer of the action.
  • Structure: Object (French) + Verb (is taught) + To/For Phrase (to us) + By Phrase (by Miss Glenn).
  • The active voice version will emphasize the doer of the action, bringing "Miss Glenn" to the forefront as the one performing the action.
  • Structure: Subject (Miss Glenn) + Verb (teaches) + Object (us) + Complement (French)
  • The given statement is in passive voice. In order to convert it into an active voice, the doer of the action becomes the subject. The subject i.e., (Miss Glenn) is performing the action.

Hence, the correct statement will be "Miss Glenn teaches us French."
