Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
Authorities denied his simple request.
Option 1: His simple request has been denied by authorities.
Option 2: His simple request is denied by authorities.
Option 3: His simple request had been denied by authorities.
Option 4: His simple request was denied by authorities.
Correct Answer: His simple request was denied by authorities.
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.
The structure of the passive voice in the case of the simple past tense is: "Singular object + was + past participle form of the main verb + prepositional phrase."
Therefore, the correct answer is: " His simple request was denied by authorities. "
