SSC Stenographer 2022 PYQ — Question 63

SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • English • Q63

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice. Sherin is waiting for her friend.
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Her friend is being waited for by Sherin.

 

Sherin is waiting for her friend.

Object = friend Verb = waiting, Subject = Sherin

Passive voice form: Object + Verb + Subject

The sentence in passive voice thus becomes: Her friend (object) is being waited (verb) by Sherin (subject)

Tip: In the passive voice too, the tense remains the same as in the active voice. In the passive voice form, the past participle of the verb is taken. Waiting becomes is being waited. ('being' is used because she is actively waiting for her friend)

Hence, My money was not stolen by my friend is the correct answer.
