Question

Fill in the blank with the correct form of the past tense of the verb given in the brackets.

Ravi Shankar _____(honour) by the Music Society.

• A. honoured
• B. was honoured
• C. will honour
• D. had honoured

Answer 1

The correct option is B was honoured

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.

The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in the active voice.

The option B is correct as the given sentence is in the passive voice (use of by) and to fill in the blanks, we need to use was before the past participle form of honour.

The other options are wrong aswas is missing, will, and had cannot be used.

The correct answer is B)was honoured
