Question

Tap the option that correctly completes the sentence in passive voice.
Active voice: I was taking deep breaths to calm myself.
Passive voice: Deep breaths to calm myself.

• A. were being taken by me
• B. were taken being by me
• C. was being taking by I

Answer 1

The correct option is A were being taken by me

The correct answer is ‘were being taken by me.’ This is because the subject pronoun ‘I’ in active voice changes to object pronoun ‘me’ in passive voice. And, the sentence in passive voice follows the structure of, receiver, ‘deep breaths’ + the plural verb, ‘were’, as the noun ‘breaths’ is plural + being, as the sentence in active voice is in the past continuous tense + past participle of the verb ‘take’, which is ‘taken’ + by + the doer of the action, ‘me’.
