Nobody fed him when he was starving.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. He was fed by nobody when he was starving.

  • The structure of the given active voice is: Subject + V2 + Object.
  • The structure of the Passive active voice is: Objective Case (Subject) + was/were + V3 + Subject(Object)
    • The subject and object will swap their positions on conversion.
    • Instead of 'fed' will be changed into 'was fed'. Since the subject is singular in nature.

The correct passive voice sentence is:

He was fed by nobody when he was starving.
