He gave Kaveri a beautiful yellow dress.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Kaveri was given a beautiful yellow dress by him.

Active form: He gave Kaveri a beautiful yellow dress.

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.
  • Now, convert the main verb into its past participle or third form while converting from active to passive voice.
  • Use the word “by” before the subject in the passive sentence.
  • The pronoun 'He' should be changed to pronoun 'him'.

Now, the given sentence is in simple past tense. When the active form is in "V2" form then the passive voice should follow the format "was/were + V3" form.

The passive form will be: Kaveri was given a beautiful yellow dress by him.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Kaveri was given a beautiful yellow dress by him.
