Question

Identify the sentence in passive voice

• A. My parents regard as an ideal couple.
  % Sentence seems incomplete or ungrammatical. "My parents regard [someone/something] as..." or "[Someone/something] is regarded by my parents as..."
• B. I asked him to go.
• C. Problems have to be confronted.
• D. The tree was striking by lightning. % "striking" should be "struck"

Hint:

Passive Voice Structure: Subject + form of "to be" + Past Participle (V3) (+ by + agent). - The subject of a passive sentence receives the action of the verb. - Active: The dog chased the cat. (Dog = agent, chased = verb, cat = recipient) - Passive: The cat was chased by the dog. (Cat = recipient, was chased = verb, dog = agent) - Modal verbs (like 'have to', 'must', 'can') can be part of passive constructions: e.g., "must be done".

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Passive voice is formed using a form of the verb "to be" + past participle of the main verb.
The subject of the passive sentence is the recipient of the action.
Let's analyze the options: Option (1) "My parents regard as an ideal couple.
" - This sentence is grammatically awkward as written.
If it meant "My parents regard [them] as an ideal couple," it's active voice (subject "My parents" performs the action "regard").
If it meant "[They] are regarded by my parents as an ideal couple," it would be passive.
As written, it's active but incomplete.
Option (2) "I asked him to go.
" - Active voice.
Subject "I" performs the action "asked.
" Option (3) "Problems have to be confronted.
" - Passive voice.
- "to be confronted" consists of "to be" + past participle "confronted".
- The subject "Problems" is the recipient of the action of confronting.
The agent doing the confronting is not specified (or implied as "by us" or "by people").
- The active equivalent would be something like "We/People have to confront problems.
" Option (4) "The tree was striking by lightning.
" - This should be "The tree was struck by lightning" to be grammatically correct passive voice.
"was struck" is "be" (past tense) + past participle "struck".
If corrected, it would be passive.
As written "was striking", it's active past continuous (if it made sense, e.
g.
, "The tree was striking a pose").
Considering the options as given, option (3) is a clear and grammatically correct sentence in the passive voice.
