SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 7

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. A broad belt with shiny buckles was worn by Richard.

Active form: Richard wore a broad belt with shiny buckles.

Rules for changing Active form to Passive from:

• 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.
• Now, convert the main verb into its past participle or third form while converting from active to passive voice.
• Use the word “by” before the subject in the passive sentence.

Now, the given sentence is in simple past tense. When the active form is in "V2" form then the passive voice should follow the format "was/were + V₃" form.

The passive form will be: A broad belt with shiny buckles was worn by Richard.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. A broad belt with shiny buckles was worn by Richard.
