Correct Answer
A. The mice are eaten by the cat.Explanation
The correct answer is "The mice are eaten by the cat." In the passive voice, the subject of the active sentence (the cat) becomes the object, and the object of the active sentence (the mice) becomes the subject. Since "mice" is a plural noun, the correct form of the verb "to be" is "are." Therefore, the correct passive sentence is "The mice are eaten by the cat."Rate this question:
