Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Option 2.
- 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: "Abhay generously donated money to the homeless shelter."
- To convert to passive voice: Place the object "money" at the beginning.
- Change the active verb form "donated" to "was donated" (past simple passive).
- Add the adverb "generously" to maintain the meaning of the original sentence.
- Add the preposition "by" followed by the original subject "Abhay."
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.
Correct Sentence: "Money was generously donated to the homeless shelter by Abhay."
- Option 1: "Money generously donate to the homeless shelter by Abhay" – Incorrect verb form.
- Option 3: "Money were generously donated to the homeless shelter to Abhay" – Incorrect verb form and awkward phrasing.
- Option 4: "None of these" – This is incorrect as Option 2 is the correct passive voice form.
