    Select the correct passive form of the given sentence. How much will they pay you?
    Question

    Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
    How much will they pay you?

    A.

    How much will they be paying?

    B.

    How much will you be paid by them?

    C.

    Payment will be done by them?

    D.

    They will have paid you how much?

    Correct option is B

    The correct passive voice of the given sentence is (b) How much will you be paid by them?
    Definitions:
    · Active voice: The subject performs the action (e.g., They will pay you.).
    · Passive voice: The subject receives the action (e.g., You will be paid by them.).
    Conversion Rules:
    To convert an interrogative sentence in the future simple tense:
    · Structure in active voice:
    · How much will [subject] + base verb + object?
    · Structure in passive voice:
    · How much will + object (now subject) + be + past participle + by + subject?
    Example:
    · Active: How much will they pay you?
    · Passive: How much will you be paid by them?
    Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
    · (a) "How much will they be paying?" – Still in active voice.
    · (c) "Payment will be done by them?" – Grammatically awkward and not a correct passive form for a question.
    · (d) "They will have paid you how much?" – Changes tense (future perfect), not a passive voice.
    Final Passive Sentence:
    How much will you be paid by them?
    This correctly follows the passive structure while maintaining the tense and question format.
