Which of the following options is the most suitable conversion of the following sentence into Passive Voice?
She stiches fine dresses for the queen.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer
Fine dresses are stitched by her for the queen.
Explanation
The original sentence is in the simple present tense ("stitches"). When converting to passive voice, the plural object "fine dresses" becomes the new subject, requiring the present tense plural auxiliary verb "are" combined with the past participle "stitched". Option 3 follows this rule perfectly. Options 1 and 2 incorrectly change the tense to the past ("were stitched"), and Option 4 uses the incorrect verb form "stitch" instead of the past participle.
Key Points
Always maintain the original tense during voice conversion. Identifying the simple present tense "stitches" lets you instantly eliminate past-tense distractors containing "were".
