Answers
Explanation:
This is an interesting story. It is about a doctor’s encounter with a snake. The doctor lived in a small rented room full of rats. One night, he was reading a book. A kerosene lamp was burning on the table. There was also a large Mirror on the table. Suddenly something fell on the back of the chair. He turned to see what it was/He froze with fear when he saw that it was a big snake. The snake then coiled itself around the doctor’s left arm. The doctor prayed to God. Then the snake looked into the mirror on the table. Luckily, the snake liked its own image in the mirror. It wanted to have a closer look at its image. So it uncoiled itself from the arm and came on the table. The doctor at once got and ran out of the room. He spent the night at the house of one of his friends. The next morning he came back to his room. He was shocked to find that during the night some thief had taken away everything from his room.
Answer:
The given sentence is in the active voice, as the subject 'Julia' performs an action 'rescued' against the object 'three cats'.
If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.
So, the object takes the place of the subject and vice versa and the word 'by' is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the object. The verb form of the sentence is also changed from active form to passive.
'Subject (The boys) + verb (killed) + object (the snake) + prepositional phrase (with a stick)' changes to:
'New subject (The snake) + verb (was killed) + by + new object (the boys) + prepositional phrase (with a stick)'
The passive form of 'killed' in the simple past tense is 'was killed'.
This can be seen in option A, hence it's the right answer.
Option B: The sentence has changed in meaning. The boys killed the snake and not the stick.
Option C: This sentence too has changed in meaning. The phrase 'with the stick' is the tool used by the boys to kill the snake. The snake was not with the stick.
Option D: The passive verb form of 'killed' is 'was killed', and not 'is killed'
