Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
Rohit did not slap Kunal.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Kunal was not slapped by Rohit.

 

 

  • In the active sentence, "Rohit" is the subject and "Kunal" is the object.
  • In the passive voice, the object becomes the subject, and the subject (Rohit) becomes the agent, introduced by "by".
  • The verb "did not slap" in the active voice is converted into the passive form "was not slapped".
  • In passive voice, we use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" (in this case, "was") and the past participle of the main verb (in this case, "slapped").
  • The negative form "did not" in the active voice is retained as "was not" in the passive voice.

Hence, the correct sentence is:- "Kunal was not slapped by Rohit."
