Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice. He ordered the police to pursue the robber and his gang.
The police were ordered to pursue the robber and his gang.
The correct answer is The police were ordered to pursue the robber and his gang.
For sentences with infinitives (to + base verb), like in the question, the infinitive part usually remains the same or changes only slightly if it is part of the action being passivized. In this case, 'to pursue' remains as is because the ordering is being passivized, not the pursuing itself in relation to 'He'. Mastering active and passive voice helps improve writing style and comprehension.
