Question

transform the sentence by using explanation in the following sentence. arun was asked by his mother to explain the missing buttons on his shirt. ​

Answer 1

This sentence is an example of a passive voice. If it is rewritten into active voice, it is written like this:

"Arun's mother asked him to explain the missing buttons on his shirt."

Explanation:

When an active voice is turned into a passive voice, the subject is put at the first of a sentence with the main verb in its past participle form.

Answer 2

If we write the sentence with the word “explanation,” we have to write it as “Arun's mother asked for an explanation about the buttons on his shirt.”

Here the word “explanation” is a noun, and it should be written in the proper place to construct a meaningful sentence.

The rewritten sentence is directly aimed at  Arun, and there is no need for “who his mother asked for.”
