    Change the following sentence from Active Voice to Passive Voice. Why did your friend write such a nasty letter to you?
    Question

    Change the following sentence from Active Voice to Passive Voice.
    Why did your friend write such a nasty letter to you?

    A.

    Why such a nasty letter was written to you by your friend?

    B.

    Why a nasty letter written to you by your friend?

    C.

    Why a nasty letter to you was written by your friend?

    D.

    Why was such a nasty letter written to you by your friend?

    Correct option is D


    Correct passive voice: (d) Why was such a nasty letter written to you by your friend?
    Important points:
    • The active sentence is in Simple Past: did + write (V¹).
    • Passive in Simple Past uses: was/were + V³.
    • Interrogative passive structure: Why + was/were + object + V³ + (by + subject)?
    Grammatical Rule (English):
    • Active: Why + did + subject + V¹ + object?
    • Passive: Why + was/were + object + V³ + by + subject?
    व्याकरणिक नियम (Hindi):
    • Simple Past के passive में was/were + V³ आता है और प्रश्नवाचक वाक्य में क्रम होता है: Why + was/were + object + V³
    Why other options are incorrect:
    • (a) “Why…was written…” में helping verb (was) के बाद word order awkward/less correct (standard form is “Why was…?”).
    • (b) helping verb missing (“was/were” नहीं है) → sentence incomplete.
    • (c) wrong placement makes the sentence unnatural; (d) is the correct standard form.
    Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
