    Question

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
    "Mrs. Leela opened the window."

    A.

    The window was being opened by Mrs. Leela.

    B.

    The window is opened by Mrs. Leela.

    C.

    The window was opened by Mrs. Leela.

    D.

    The window is being opened by Mrs. Leela.

    Correct option is C


    Explanation of the Correct Answer:
    · The given sentence is in active voice in the past simple tense:
    · Subject (Mrs. Leela) + Verb (opened) + Object (the window).
    · When converting to passive voice, the object ("the window") becomes the subject, and we use "was + past participle (opened)" to maintain the past simple tense.
    · The correct sentence is:
    · "The window was opened by Mrs. Leela."
    Other options:
    · (a) "The window was being opened by Mrs. Leela." → Incorrect because "was being opened" indicates past continuous tense, which does not match the original tense.
    · (b) "The window is opened by Mrs. Leela." → Incorrect because "is opened" changes the tense to present simple.
    · (d) "The window is being opened by Mrs. Leela." → Incorrect because "is being opened" is present continuous tense.
    Thus, the correct answer is (c) "The window was opened by Mrs. Leela."
