Choose the option that is the passive form of the sentence.
The manager permitted women employees to leave office early on that day.

Correct option is D

The correct passive form of the sentence "The manager permitted women employees to leave office early on that day" is "Women employees were permitted to leave office early on that day."
· Active Voice- Active voice is a grammatical structure in which the subject of the sentence performs the action expressed by the verb.
· Passive Voice- Passive voice refers to a grammatical construction where the subject of a sentence undergoes an action rather than performing it. In passive voice sentences, the emphasis is on the recipient or object of the action.
· This passive form accurately converts the action from the active voice, where the manager is the subject, to focus on the women employees as the subject, reflecting that the action (permission) was received by them.
· Example: Students were allowed to leave school early due to the snowstorm, similarly expressing permission in a passive structure.
· Other options:
· (a) Women employees permitted the manager to leave office early on that day inverts the action incorrectly.
· (b) Women employees had to leave office early on that day changes the nature of the action from permission to obligation.
· (c) Women employees should leave office early on that day suggests a recommendation or future obligation, not a past permission.
