Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice. The chef prepares the meal with great care.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The meal is prepared with great care by the chef.
The sentence "The chef prepares the meal with great care" is in active voice, where the subject ("the chef") performs the action on the object ("the meal").
To change it into passive voice:
- The object of the active sentence ("the meal") becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
- The verb "prepares" is changed to the appropriate form of the verb "to be" (in this case, "is prepared"), and the original subject ("the chef") is added at the end of the sentence (using "by").
Thus, the passive voice sentence becomes: "The meal is prepared with great care by the chef."
