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

Take the wheels.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Let the wheels be taken by you.

  • In the active voice, "Take the wheels," the implied subject "you" is performing the action "take" on the object "the wheels."
  • In the passive voice, the sentence is rearranged to focus on "the wheels" as the subject of the sentence. The verb "take" is changed to "be taken" to indicate that the action is being done to the wheels, and "by you" specifies the agent performing the action.

  • Using "Let" in the passive construction ("Let the wheels be taken by you") maintains the imperative mood (command) of the original sentence while transforming it into the passive voice.
