Which of the following options is the most suitable conversion of the following sentence into Passive Voice?
The traffic department implements new traffic laws to reduce congestion.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
To convert a sentence into the Passive Voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject, and the verb is changed to its past participle form preceded by the appropriate form of the verb "to be" (is, am, are, was, were, being, been).
Identify the Tense: The verb "implements" is in the Simple Present Tense.
Formula for Passive (Present Tense): [Object] + is/are + [Past Participle of Verb] + by [Subject].
Application: "New traffic laws" (plural) requires "are" + "implemented".
Therefore, the correct conversion is:
"New traffic laws are implemented by the traffic department to reduce congestion."
