Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is "Shahbaz is known to Rahul since childhood."
Key Points
- Passive voice means that the subject of the sentence is not performing the action, but rather receiving it.
- She was attacked by a stranger.
- To convert a sentence into passive voice:
- the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
- and the verb is changed to a passive form (usually "to be" + past participle).
- In this case, "Shahbaz" is the object of the active sentence, so it becomes the subject of the passive sentence ("Shahbaz is known"), and the verb "knows" is changed to its passive form "is known".
- The preposition "since childhood" remains the same in both active and passive voice.
- Thus, the sentence in passive form will be:
- Shahbaz is known to Rahul since childhood.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
Additional Information
- Option 1, "Shahbaz was known to Rahul since childhood," is in passive voice but uses the wrong tense (past simple instead of present simple).
- Option 3, "Shahbaz known by Rahul since childhood," is missing the auxiliary verb "is" to form a complete passive sentence.
- Option 4, "Shahbaz has known Rahul since childhood," is in active voice and does not use the correct subject-verb-object order for a passive sentence.
