Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
The officers kept us waiting for one hour.
Option 1: We were kept waiting for one hour by the officers.
Option 2: We kept waiting for one hour.
Option 3: We keep waiting for one hour.
Option 4: We are keeping waiting for one hour.
Correct Answer: We were kept waiting for one hour by the officers.
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation:
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 voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.
The structure of the sentence in the passive voice is plural subject + were + past participle form of the verb + prepositional phrase + by + agent of action.
Therefore, the passive voice is: We were kept waiting for one hour by the officers.
