    Question

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
    A honeybee stung her in the apiary.

    A.

    She stung a honeybee in the apiary.

    B.

    She was stung by a honeybee in the apiary.

    C.

    A honeybee got her stung in the apiary.

    D.

    She stung herself by a honeybee in the apiary.

    · Definition of Voice:
    · Active voice: The subject performs the action (e.g., A honeybee stung her.)
    · Passive voice: The subject receives the action (e.g., She was stung by a honeybee.)
    · Explanation:
    · The sentence is in simple past tense.
    · Passive structure of simple past: was/were + past participle (V3).
    · Grammatical rule used:
    · Active: Subject + V2 + Object
    · Passive: Object + was/were + V3 + (by + subject)
    · Hindi Explanation: Simple past को passive में बदलते समय “was” या “were” के साथ क्रिया का तीसरा रूप (V3) लगाया जाता है।
    · Meanings of all the other options:
    · (a) – ❌ Subject and object roles reversed.
    · (c) – ❌ Incorrect structure and meaning.
    · (d) – ❌ Illogical; “stung herself by a honeybee” is grammatically incorrect.
