SSC Stenographer 2023 Previous Year Paper (13-Oct-2023) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

Why have my pet dogs been injured by Utpal?

The correct answer is 'Option 2.'

 Key Points

  • In passive voice, the object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence. 
  • The verb form "have been injured" is the correct passive construction for the present perfect tense.
  • "My pet dogs" becomes the subject of the sentence in passive voice.
  • "By Utpal" indicates the doer of the action and is placed after the verb in passive voice.
  • Hence, the correct passive construction is "have my pet dogs been injured by Utpal?"

Therefore, the correct answer is - 'Option 2'.

  Additional Information

  • Option 1: "Why has my pet dogs been injured by Utpal?" - This option does not use the correct verb form for passive voice. "Been" should be placed after "have" to form the correct present perfect passive construction.
  • Option 3: "Why did been my pet dogs injured by Utpal?" - This option is grammatically incorrect. It mixes the present perfect tense ("have been") with the past tense ("did"), and the word order is incorrect.
  • Option 4: "Why had my pet dogs been injured by Utpal?" - This option uses the past perfect tense ("had been injured"), which is not appropriate for the given sentence in present tense.
