Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The correct transformation of the sentence "Have the girls asked this question?" into the passive voice is Option B: Has this question been asked by the girls?
Detailed Explanation
Active Voice Structure: The original sentence is in the present perfect tense ("Have... asked"), where "the girls" is the subject and "this question" is the object.
Passive Voice Transformation:
To convert to the passive voice, the object "this question" becomes the new subject.
Because "this question" is singular, the auxiliary verb must change from "Have" to "Has."
The present perfect passive requires the inclusion of "been" before the past participle "asked."
The agent ("the girls") is placed at the end using the preposition "by."
Result: "Has this question been asked by the girls?"
