I am paid weekly by my organisation.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. My organisation pays me weekly. 

  • The sentence emphasizes on the subject and performing an action in active voice.
  • In passive voice, the emphasis is on the object of the sentence or the action.
  • The above sentence is in passive voice and present simple tense.
  • When a sentence is converted into active voice, the subject is converted into the object, in this case 'I' into 'me' and the object becomes the subject i.e. 'my organisation' in this case.
  • Passive format i.e. am+V3(paid) will be converted into V1 i.e. (pays).

The correct sentence is-

My organisation pays me weekly.
