Question

This question was previously asked in

JKSSB SI Official Paper (Held On: 07 Dec 2022 Shift 2)

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

Passive voice structure: The object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
In the active voice, the sentence is: "The crew paved the entire stretch of highway."
To convert to passive voice: Place the object "the entire stretch of highway" at the beginning.
Change the active verb form "paved" to "was paved" (past simple passive).
Add the preposition "by" followed by the original subject "the crew."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence: "The entire stretch of highway was paved by the crew."

Additional Information

Option 1: "The entire stretch of highway were paving by crew" – Incorrect verb form and subject-verb agreement.
Option 3: "The entire stretch of highway are paving by the crew" – Incorrect verb form and subject-verb agreement.
Option 4: None of these – Indicates there are no other correct options.
