Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

Did you not buy the return tickets to Dehradun?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Were the return tickets to Dehradun not bought by you? i.e. option 4.

In the passive voice construction:

  • "The return tickets to Dehradun" becomes the subject.
  • "Were" is the auxiliary verb used in interrogative sentences in passive voice.
  • "Bought" is the past participle form of the verb "buy."
  • "By you" indicates the doer of the action in the original sentence and is introduced with "by" in the passive construction.
