Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Correct passive sentence: I am sometimes vexed by his attitude.

Explanation:

  • Identify parts in the active sentence: subject = his attitude, verb = vexes, object = me, adverb = sometimes.

  • Make the object 'me' into the subject of the passive and use the correct form of 'be' + past participle: 'I am vexed'.

  • Introduce the original subject as the agent with 'by': 'by his attitude'.

  • Place the adverb 'sometimes' where it naturally fits. The final sentence is: 'I am sometimes vexed by his attitude.' (Alternatively, 'I am vexed by his attitude sometimes' is also acceptable.)
