Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Our age far surpasses all previous ages in knowledge.
Passive Form: All previous ages are far surpassed in knowledge by our age.
- In the given sentence, 'are + V3 i.e. surpassed' has been used, which implies that the active form should contain 'base form or V1 + s/es'.
- Now, 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.
- Remove the word 'by' when converting into active form.
The active form will be: Our age far surpasses all previous ages in knowledge.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Our age far surpasses all previous ages in knowledge.
