Question

Tap the option that correctly completes the given sentence in passive voice.
Active voice: The police have not caught the thieves.
Passive voice: The thieves ____________ by the police.

• A. has not caught been
• B. have not been caught
• C. have been caught not
• D. has not been catching

Answer 1

The correct option is B have not been caught

The correct answer is ‘have not been caught’. In passive voice, the plural form of the helping verb, ‘have’ is used since the receiver ‘the thieves’ is plural. It is followed by the negative word ‘not’, the ‘be’ verb form ‘been’ and the past participle form of the main verb ‘catch’ which is ‘caught’.
