Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    He can do this.

    Explanation
    The given answer "This can be done by him" is correct because it is a grammatically correct and concise way of expressing the idea that someone is capable of completing a task. It implies that the person mentioned has the ability or skills required to accomplish the task at hand.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    I will never believe you.

    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "You will never be believed by me." This answer is correct because it accurately reflects the negative belief of the speaker towards the person being addressed. The phrase "I will never believe you" is transformed into the passive voice, resulting in the statement "You will never be believed by me." This conveys the same meaning as the original sentence but emphasizes the lack of trust or faith the speaker has in the person being addressed.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    You will never achieve these goals.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "These goals will never be achieved by you" because it accurately rephrases the original sentence while maintaining the same meaning. The original sentence implies that the person will never achieve the mentioned goals, and the answer choice conveys the same idea by using passive voice to emphasize that the achievement of the goals will not be done by the person in question.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    I did not beat that boy.

    Explanation
    The given statement "That boy was not beaten by me" is a correct answer because it accurately reflects the original statement "I did not beat that boy." Both statements convey the same meaning, indicating that the speaker did not inflict any harm or violence upon the mentioned boy.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    That truck broke that wall.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "That wall was broken by that truck." This answer correctly uses the passive voice to show that the wall was the object of the action (being broken) and the truck was the subject performing the action. It maintains the same meaning as the original sentence while structuring it in a different way.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Paul is writing an article.

    Explanation
    The given answer is correct because it accurately rephrases the original statement while maintaining the same meaning. Both sentences convey the idea that Paul is currently in the process of writing an article, but the correct answer uses the passive voice construction "is being written" to emphasize the action being done to the article by Paul.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    I have done this work.

    Explanation
    The given answer is the statement "This work has been done by me" which is in passive voice because the subject "me" has become the predicate and the predicate "the work" is now the subject. 

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    He hit the car.  

    Explanation
    The given sentence "The car was hit by him" is the passive voice form of the sentence "He hit the car." In the active voice sentence, the subject performs the action, while in the passive voice sentence, the subject receives the action. Therefore, the correct answer is "The car was hit by him" as it correctly represents the passive voice form of the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Sheila reads the book.

    Explanation
    The sentence in active voice ("Sheila reads the book") is transformed into passive voice by making the object of the active sentence ("the book") the subject of the passive sentence, and vice versa, while retaining the same tense. Therefore, the correct passive voice conversion is "The book is read by Sheila."
