Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
Mr. Varun had answered all the questions.
All the questions had been answered by Mr. Varun.
The given sentence is in active voice: "Mr. Varun had answered all the questions."
To convert it into passive voice, we need to follow these steps:
- Identify the subject and object: The subject is "Mr. Varun," and the object is "all the questions."
- Change the object to the subject: "All the questions" becomes the new subject.
- Change the verb to its past participle form: "had answered" changes to "had been answered."
- Add "by" and the original subject: We add "by Mr. Varun" to indicate the agent of the action.
Applying these steps, the passive voice sentence becomes: "All the questions had been answered by Mr. Varun."
Let's examine why the other options are incorrect:
- Option 2: "All the questions have been answered by Mr. Varun" uses the present perfect tense, while the original sentence is in the past perfect tense.
- Option 3: "All the questions are answered by Mr. Varun" uses the present simple tense, which doesn't match the original tense.
- Option 4: "All the questions were answered by Mr. Varun" uses the past simple tense, not the past perfect tense as in the original sentence.
Therefore, only Option 1 accurately reflects the past perfect tense and the passive voice construction.
