Can you compose an inspiring poem?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Can an inspiring poem be composed by you?.

In passive voice, the object of the action becomes the subject of the sentence. Here, the object of the action is "an inspiring poem".

Passive voice uses a form of "be" (in this case, "be" as "be composed") followed by the past participle of the verb ("composed").

The agent of the action (the person doing the composing) is introduced by "by". In this case, it's "you".

Hence, the correct passive form of sentence is:- Can an inspiring poem be composed by you?
