Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice. The onlookers brought the victim to the hospital.
The victim was brought to the hospital by the onlookers.
The conversion: the object becomes the subject, the verb becomes be + past participle in the same tense, and the original subject follows by.
Applying it. The object is ‘the victim’; the verb brought is simple past, so the passive is was brought. The agent ‘the onlookers’ follows by.
That gives ‘The victim was brought to the hospital by the onlookers.’
Why the others fail — note that two of them swap the roles:
‘The victim brought the onlookers to the hospital.’ — still active, and it reverses who brought whom.
‘The onlookers were brought to the hospital by the victim.’ — correctly passive in form, but it makes the victim the one doing the bringing. Form right, meaning wrong.
‘The victim is brought by the onlookers to the hospital.’ — shifts the tense to the simple present, describing a habit rather than a single past event.
Two checks, in order: is the doer after by the same person as in the original? And is the tense unchanged? Most wrong options fail one or the other.
