Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
I bade him to write the composition twice.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e He was bidden to write the composition twice
I bade him to write the composition twice.
Object = him, Verb = bade, Subject = I
Passive voice form: Object + Verb + Subject
The sentence in passive voice thus becomes: He (object) was bidden (verb) to write the composition twice. Here, you can also eliminate the subject (me) since the options have done so.
Tip: In the passive voice too, the tense remains the same as in the active voice. Also, in passive voice, use the past participle of bade i.e. 'bidden'.
Hence, He was bidden to write the composition twice is the correct answer.
