Directions (for the next 02 items that follow): Read the following pairs and identify the pair(s) wherein the Passive Voice is correctly stated, and mark your response on the Answer Sheet accordingly.
Active Voice Passive Voice I. They asked me my name. My name was asked by them. II. They found him guilty. He was found guilty.
II only
Pair I: “They asked me my name.” is changed into the Passive Voice as “My name was asked by them.” The object my name is placed in the subject position, and the verb is changed to the passive form was asked. Hence, Pair I is correctly stated.
Pair II: “They found him guilty.” is not correctly changed into the Passive Voice. The correct passive construction would be “He was found guilty by them.” The given sentence “He found them guilty” changes both the subject-object relationship and the meaning. Hence, Pair II is incorrect.
Therefore, only Pair I is correctly stated in the Passive Voice.
Correct Answer: I only
