Question

Sohan was ........................ by a dog.

• A. had bit
• B. bite
• C. bitten
• D. bit

Hint:

The passive voice is always formed with a form of the verb 'to be' (am, is, are, was, were, been) followed by the past participle of the main verb. The presence of 'by' (indicating the agent) is a strong clue for the passive voice.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question tests the correct verb form for a sentence in the passive voice.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
The sentence structure "Sohan was ........ by a dog" indicates the passive voice. The structure of the past simple passive is: `was/were + past participle`.
The main verb is 'bite'. We need its past participle (third form).
The forms of 'bite' are:
- Base form: bite
- Simple past: bit
- Past participle: bitten
The sentence requires the past participle to follow 'was'.

Step 3: Applying to the Sentence:
The correct form to complete the passive voice structure is 'bitten'.

Step 4: Final Answer:
The correct verb form is bitten.
