Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Stephen was verbally insulted by Rohan in front of his parents.
- In passive voice, the subject of the active voice sentence ("Rohan" in this case) becomes the agent of the action ("by Rohan").
- The object of the active voice sentence ("Stephen" in this case) becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
- The verb "was verbally insulted" is in the correct past tense passive form, indicating that Stephen received the action (was insulted) rather than Rohan performing the action.
Hence, the correct answer would be Stephen was verbally insulted by Rohan in front of his parents.
