Answer:
A) The boy who is sitting behind me is my cousin.
Explanation:
A relative clause is a subordinate clause that completes the meaning conveyed in the main clause. It usually begins with a linking word like who, when, which. A good book was seen by us yesterday. This sentence is a complex sentence.
A complex sentence has one main clause and two or more subordinate or dependent clause. Here ‘The boy who is sitting’ is the main clause and ‘behind me is my cousin’ the subordinate clause.
B) A good book was seen by us yesterday.
Explanation:
In the active voice, the subject is the agent. It performs an action on the patient or the object. The main verb is the theme and denotes the action performed. In the passive voice the object is changed into the subject position and the main subject features in the predicate.
In this sentence, the active voice has been changed into the passive voice. So a good book which was the object is the subject now and we was the subject which is now the object.
