EnglishActive and Passive Voice
- AOne particular question is answered by all the examinees in the long answer writing section
- BOne particular question was answered by all the examinees in the long answer writing section
- CAll the examinees answered one particular question in the long answer writing section
- DOne particular question has been answered by all the examinees in the long answer writing section
Explanation
The active sentence is in the present perfect (‘have answered’), so the passive must be ‘has been answered’: ‘One particular question has been answered by all the examinees …’. Options (a), (b), and (c) use the wrong tense or voice. Hence option (d) is correct.
