Does Sneha not lick the butter?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Is the butter not licked by Sneha?

  • In passive voice, the object of the active sentence ("the butter") becomes the subject, and the subject of the active sentence ("Sneha") becomes the agent (optional or omitted in passive voice unless needed for clarity or emphasis).
  • The main verb is changed to a passive form ("is licked"), and the original subject ("Sneha") may appear in a prepositional phrase ("by Sneha") or be omitted entirely depending on the context.
