Key Points
- In the active sentence, "She ate the last slice of pizza," the subject "she" is performing the action of eating the pizza.
- To convert this sentence into the passive voice, we need to make the object of the active sentence ("the last slice of pizza") the subject of the passive sentence.
- The verb "ate" needs to be changed to its corresponding passive form.
- In option 3, "The last slice of pizza was eaten by her," the subject of the passive sentence is "The last slice of pizza," and the verb is "was eaten."
- The past participle form of the verb "eat" is "eaten," which is used in the passive voice.
- Grammatically, in the passive voice, the subject receives the action rather than performing it. The structure of the passive voice is "be + past participle (verb) + by + agent (optional)."
Therefore, the correct sentence is: 'The last slice of pizza was eaten by her.'
