Change the following from active to passive:
The jury has delivered a unanimous verdict.

Correct option is A

The correct passive voice of the given sentence is (a) A unanimous verdict has been delivered by the jury.
Explain the rules of conversion (Active → Passive) with structure:
· Active tense: Present Perfect → has/have + V³
· Passive tense: Present Perfect Passive → has/have + been + V³
· Steps applied:
1. Object in active becomes subject in passive: a unanimous verdict.
2. Keep the tense same: has delivered → has been delivered.
3. Subject in active becomes agent with “by”: by the jury (optional).
4. Structure:
· Active: Subject + has/have + V³ + Object
· Passive: Object + has/have + been + V³ + (by + Subject)
· Example: The committee has approved the proposal. → The proposal has been approved by the committee.
· Why other options are incorrect:
· (b) “was being delivered” = past continuous passive; tense changes incorrectly.
· (c) “had been delivered” = past perfect passive; tense changes.
· (d) “is delivered” = present simple passive; tense changes.
