Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
The mistress appointed him monitor.
Option 1: Monitor had been appointed as mistress.
Option 2: He had been appointed as monitor.
Option 3: He was appointed monitor by the mistress.
Option 4: He appointed mistress as monitor.
Correct Answer: He was appointed monitor by the mistress.
Solution : The third option is correct.
In the original sentence, the structure is in active voice. The 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 a passive sentence in the case of the simple past tense is: Object + was + past participle of the main verb + by followed by the agent of the action.
Hence, the passive sentence would be, "He was appointed monitor by the mistress".
