· 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 construction accurately shifts the focus from the doer (The Municipal Corporation) to the object of the action (the manhole covers). It uses the simple past passive form 'were changed' to indicate the completed action that took place before the rainy season.
· Example: The old buildings were demolished to make way for new developments, similarly using the passive to emphasize the action on the object rather than the actor.
· Other options:
· (a) and (b) Are grammatically incorrect or misrepresent the tense.
· (d) Implies a possibility rather than a completed action.
