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

Joseph opened the Bible.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The Bible was opened by Joseph.

  • In the passive voice construction, the object of the active voice sentence ("the Bible") becomes the subject, and the subject of the active voice sentence ("Joseph") becomes the agent in the passive voice sentence.
  • Therefore, "The Bible was opened by Joseph" effectively expresses the same idea in a passive voice.
