Question

Choose the most suitable passive voice conversion of the given sentence.
The teachers have been taking remedial classes since Monday. [Intermediate]

• A. Remedial classes had been taken by the teachers since Monday.
• B. Since Monday, the remedial classes have been taken by teachers.
• C. The teachers have been taken remedial classes since Monday.
• D. No passive voice.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Remedial classes had been taken by the teachers since Monday.

On conversion to passive voice, the structure of a sentence in the active voice changes to object-passive form of verb-subject.

Option A is the correct answer because it follows the mentioned structure where 'remedial classes' is the object, 'had been taken' is the passive form of the verb 'have been taking' and 'the teachers' is the subject of the sentence.

Options B and C are incorrect as they do not follow this pattern.

Option D is incorrect because we have already chosen a correct passive voice for the sentence.
