Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- In passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject, and the original subject often becomes the agent (or is omitted).
- The structure generally follows the pattern:
-
Active Voice: Subject + Verb + Object + Additional information
-
Passive Voice: Object + Was/were + V3 + by + agent + additional information
-
- The subject in the active voice sentence, "The Indian army," becomes the agent in the passive voice construction.
- It is placed at the end of the sentence preceded by "by."
- The object in the active voice sentence, "thousands of people," becomes the subject in the passive voice construction.
- The verb "airlifted" changes to "were airlifted" in the passive voice, indicating the past participle.
- So, the passive construction maintains the same essential information but shifts the focus from the doer of the action (the Indian army) to the receiver of the action (thousands of people).
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
