8. Yukihiro: "When …………………?" Tetsuya: "Before World War I"

Explanation

The question is asking about the time when the hospital was built. Tetsuya's response "Before World War I" indicates that the hospital was built before that specific historical event. Therefore, the correct answer is "was this hospital built," as it matches the past tense of the question and accurately reflects the information provided by Tetsuya.

Submit
9. She is sitting in a chair.

Explanation

The passive voice is formed by using a form of the auxiliary verb "be" and the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "sit," and its past participle is "sat." The preposition "by" is used to introduce the agent, which is the person or thing performing the action. Therefore, the correct passive voice of the sentence is "A chair is being sat in by her."

Submit
