Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Nobody is trusted by him.

 

To convert the given sentence into its passive form, the following rules are followed:

  1. Identify the subject and object of the active sentence:

    • Subject: He
    • Object: anybody
  2. Make the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence:

    • Object "anybody" becomes the subject "Nobody."
  3. Change the verb "trust" into its passive form "is trusted."

  4. The subject "He" of the active sentence becomes "by him" in the passive sentence to indicate the doer of the action.

  5. Include the appropriate auxiliary verb "is" to create the passive construction.

Thus, the correct passive form of the given sentence is:

Nobody is trusted by him.
