Question

Change the voice The lion was caught in a trap

Answer 1

the lion caught in a trap

Answer 2

The hunter caught the lion in a trap.

The above sentence is in the passive voice. In the solution, the voice has been changed to that of an active voice.

While making these changes a few things are to be kept in mind. There are as follows-

• Usually in sentences that are in passive voice, 'by' is added. It should be removed.
• The subject needs to be mentioned.
• In certain cases in a sentence in passive voice, the subject is omitted as it can be easily guessed. In that case, the subject should be assumed.
• In this case, it is assumed that a hunter had caught the lion since it's more common for a hunter to do so.
• Lastly, the intended meaning of the sentence should not be changed.
