Q: Identify the passive voice in the following options. (2019)
Solution: The sentence 'The cat was chased by the dog.' is in passive voice as the subject receives the action.
Steps: 4
Step 1: Understand what passive voice means. In passive voice, the subject of the sentence receives the action instead of doing it.
Step 2: Look for a sentence where the subject is acted upon. For example, in 'The cat was chased by the dog.', the cat is not doing the chasing; it is being chased.
Step 3: Identify the structure of the sentence. In passive voice, you often see a form of 'to be' (like 'was') followed by a past participle (like 'chased').
Step 4: Confirm that the action is being done to the subject. In our example, the dog is doing the chasing, but the cat is the one affected by the action.
