Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: The radio has been broken by him.
Reason: The active sentence "He has broken the radio." is in the present perfect. To form the passive in present perfect, make the object the subject, keep has/have, add been, and use the past participle.
Active structure: Subject + has/have + past participle (He + has + broken + the radio).
Passive structure: Object becomes subject + has/have + been + past participle + by + subject (The radio + has + been + broken + by + him).
Why the other choices are wrong:
"The radio had been broken by him." is wrong because it uses past perfect (had been) instead of present perfect.
"The radio was broken by him." is wrong because it uses simple past (was broken), not present perfect passive.
"The radio has been broke by him." is wrong because "broke" is not the past participle; the correct past participle is "broken."
Therefore, "The radio has been broken by him." is the correct passive form.
