Question

8. Change these sentences from the Active to the Passive Voice: This book contains a large number of pictures. 1.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Large number of pictures are contained by this book.

Answer 2

Answer:

First, identify the tense of the sentence in active voice. It is in the simple present tense, indicated by the verb form 'contains'. To change such a sentence to passive voice, we must add 'is/am/are' followed by the past participle form of the verb.

Option A is incorrect: 'articles' is plural so it cannot be followed by the singular form 'is'.

Option B uses the phrase 'are being contained' which indicates some form of storage. So, it does not suit the context of the sentence.

Option D) 'is containing many interesting articles' is wrong grammatically.

So, the correct answer is C) Many interesting articles are contained in this book.
