Which of the following options is the most suitable conversion of the following sentence into Passive Voice?
They say she writes beautiful poems.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The original sentence uses an impersonal reporting verb ("They say"). When a sentence begins with a general subject like "They," "People," or "Someone" followed by a reporting verb (say, believe, think, report), then formation of passive voice is done in the following way:
Structure: It + passive reporting verb + that-clause.
Transformation: "They say" becomes "It is said", and the rest of the sentence ("that she writes beautiful poems") remains the same. This is the most common and direct formal passive form.
Therefore, option ‘B’ is the correct answer.
