Correct option is A
The correct passive voice of the given sentence is
(a) Dinner is taken by him at 8 p.m. everyday.
Detailed Explanation (English):
• The given sentence expresses a routine/habit (“everyday”), so it is in
Simple Present Tense.
• While changing from active to passive, the
tense must remain the same.
• The object
“dinner” becomes the subject in passive voice.
• Simple Present Passive structure is:
is/am/are + V³.
• “takes” (V¹ with -s) changes to
taken (V³).
• Therefore, “Dinner is taken…” is the correct passive form.
Grammatical rule used (English):
• Simple Present (Active): Subject + V¹(s/es) + Object
• Simple Present (Passive): Object + is/am/are + V³ + by + Subject
Grammatical rule used (Hindi):
• Active से Passive बनाते समय
tense (काल) नहीं बदलता।
• Simple Present Passive की संरचना:
is/am/are + क्रिया का तीसरा रूप (V³)।
• Passive में object को subject बनाया जाता है और कर्ता “by” से आता है।
Example:
Active: He writes a letter.
Passive: A letter is written by him.
Why other options are incorrect:
• (b) “was taken” → Simple Past (tense changed)
• (c) “was taken” → Simple Past (tense changed)
• (d) “is being taken” → Present Continuous (tense changed)
