    Question

    Select the option that expresses the following sentence in passive voice.
    His brother needed some urgent help at that moment.

    A.

    Some urgent help was needed by his brother at that moment.

    B.

    Urgent help was needed by his brother at that moment.

    C.

    Some urgent help is needed by his brother at that moment.

    D.

    Some urgent help was needed by his brother at this moment.

    Correct option is B

    The correct passive voice is (b).
    Active Voice: The subject performs the action expressed by the verb.
    Passive Voice: The subject receives the action expressed by the verb.
    Active voice (past simple): Subject + verb (V2) + object
    Passive voice: Object + was/were + past participle + by + subject
    Explanation:
    “Needed” is in past tense, so passive form will be: “was needed”
    Also, “that moment” should not be changed to “this moment” — tense consistency matters.
    Example: She needed help → Help was needed by her.
    �� Information Booster: Always maintain original time expressions (this/that) in passive construction.
