Transformation of Sentences Test 9

Options A and C are incorrect because the question specifically asks for a 'wh' question.

'Yes/No' questions are those questions which start from helping verbs like was, are, were, is, etc. 

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.

The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.

Option D) were awarded is correct as 'last month' indicate the use of past tense.

The merit holder students were awarded by the Board last month.

 

The given answer "Yes, I have never been to China." confirms the very words that were spoken in the question. Hence, the most suitable question will contain the same words as in the answer.
Option C: This question best corresponds to the answer/response. It's in the negative, asking if the person has never been to China.
(When someone asks you if you've never been somewhere, and you respond in the affirmative, you're saying that you have never been there.)
Hence option C is correct.
Option A: This question is worded slightly differently. Also, 'ever' is a positive word, it cannot be responded to by saying 'yes, I have never.'
Option B: This question, too, is in the affirmative about 'ever going there', but the answer contradicts it.
Option D: This question is worded differently from the response ('visited' has replaced 'been to').
Since we need to choose the best corresponding question, option D is incorrect.

A sentence in passive voice focuses on the person or thing that receives an action rather than the person/thing that performs the action.
For example, 'My room was cleaned by me.'
The basic structure of passive voice is:
the appropriate form of the verb 'to be' + past participle
Option C: The given sentence states a past event "last night". Hence it's in simple past tense. So, the simple past form of 'to be', 'was' is used.
'Was chased' is the appropriate structure, formed by the past tense verb 'was' + past participle (chased). Hence option C is correct.
Option A: 'Were' is a plural verb whereas the subject (the rat) is singular. The subject and verb must agree with one another in terms of number. Hence A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Chases' is a verb in the active form: The rat chases... . It changes the subject "rat" to perform, rather than receive, the action. Hence B is incorrect.
Option D: 'Was chasing' is not the correct verb form used in the passive voice. 'Chasing' is a present participle that changes the voice of the sentence to active. Hence D is incorrect.

A sentence in passive voice focuses on the person or thing that receives an action rather than the person/thing that performs the action.
For example, 'My room was cleaned by me.'
The basic structure of passive voice is:
the appropriate form of the verb 'to be' + past participle
Option B: The given sentence states a fact, hence it's in simple present tense. So, the simple present form of 'to be', 'is' is used. (The simple present tense states a general fact or a usual habit.)
'Is grown' is the appropriate structure, formed by the simple present tense verb 'is' + past participle (grown). Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Is being' is in present continuous tense. But the sentence does not state a particular action that is being carried out at the moment. Hence A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Grows' is a verb in the active form: Tea grows in gardens.... It changes the thing "tea" to perform, rather than receive, the action. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Is growing' is not the correct verb form used in the passive voice. 'Growing' is a present participle whereas the required verb form is a past participle. Hence D is incorrect.

A sentence in passive voice focuses on the person or thing that receives an action rather than the person/thing that performs the action.
For example, 'My room was cleaned by me.'
The basic structure of passive voice is:
the appropriate form of the verb 'to be' + past participle
Option B: The given sentence states a fact, hence it's in simple present tense. So, the simple present form of 'to be', 'are' is used. (The simple present tense states a general fact or a usual habit.)
'Are grown' is the appropriate structure, formed by the simple present tense verb 'is' + past participle (grown). Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Are growing' is not the correct verb form used in the passive voice. 'Growing' is a present participle whereas the required verb form is a past participle. The present participle changes the subject 'flowers' to performing, rather than receiving, the action. Hence A is incorrect.
Option C: The verb 'is' in 'is grown' is singular, whereas the subject "Beautiful flowers" is plural. The subject and verb must agree with one another in number (singular or plural). Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Are grow' is grammatically incorrect. 'Grow' is the base verb which must be modified in this sentence to express the present tense. Hence D is incorrect.
(Base verbs like 'grow' are used in the first person point of view (I, we) and the future tense.)

A sentence in passive voice focuses on the person or thing that receives an action rather than the person/thing that performs the action.
For example, 'My room was cleaned by me.'
The basic structure of passive voice is:
the appropriate form of the verb 'to be' + past participle
Option D: The given sentence states a fact (in the negative), hence it's in simple present tense. So, the simple present form of 'to be', 'are' is used. (The simple present tense states a general fact or a usual habit.)
'Is not given' is the appropriate structure, formed by the simple present tense verb 'is' + the negative adverb (not) + past participle (given). Hence option D is correct.
Option B: 'Give' is the base form of the verb whereas the past tense form (given) is used in the passive voice. Hence B is incorrect
Options A and C: 'Does' and 'do' are verbs in the active form (does is a form of 'do' in the present tense). The word 'do' itself means 'to perform an action'. These words are not used in the passive voice.
Hence options A and C are incorrect.
