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

They will not water the plants.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The plants will not be watered by them.

  • The original sentence is in active voice, with the subject "they" performing the action of not watering the plants.
  • To convert the sentence into passive voice, the object of the active sentence (plants) becomes the subject of the passive sentence, and the subject of the active sentence (they) becomes the agent (or is omitted).
  • The verb "will not water" is changed to the passive form "will not be watered."

Therefore, "The plants will not be watered by them." is the correct expression of the sentence in passive voice.
