Correct Answer: Are high taxes needed on senior citizens' savings?


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

Passive voice involves rearranging the structure of a sentence so that the subject receives the action of the verb rather than performing the action itself. In passive voice constructions, the subject becomes the recipient of the action.

The structure of the passive voice sentence is: object + "to be" verb + past participle + prepositional phrase.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Are high taxes needed on senior citizens' savings?
