Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. A mini-getaway has been booked for me by my parents.
To convert the given active form of the sentence into its passive form, follow these steps:
-
Identify the subject and the object in the active sentence. In this case, the subject is "my parents" and the object is "a mini-getaway."
-
Move the object (a mini-getaway) to the beginning of the sentence and place it as the new subject.
-
Add the auxiliary verb "be" in the appropriate form (based on the tense of the active sentence) before the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the verb is "booked," which is the past participle of "book."
-
Use the appropriate form of the auxiliary verb "be" based on the tense of the active sentence. In this case, since the active sentence is in the present perfect tense ("have booked"), we use "has been" for the singular subject "a mini-getaway."
-
Place the original subject ("my parents") after the auxiliary verb "be" to indicate who performed the action. Use the preposition "by" to introduce the agent of the action (optional).
Thus, the passive form of the given sentence is:
A mini-getaway has been booked for me by my parents.
