Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To convert the sentence "Ishika saw the tiger in the forest" into the passive voice, we need to restructure the sentence so that the object becomes the subject.
Rules for Passive Voice Transformation
Identify the components:
Subject: Ishika
Verb: saw (Simple Past Tense)
Object: the tiger
Apply the structure:
The object ("the tiger") moves to the front.
Since the verb is in the Simple Past Tense, we use "was/were + past participle" (seen). Since "the tiger" is singular, we use "was seen."
The original subject ("Ishika") is introduced by the preposition "by."
The remaining phrase ("in the forest") stays at the end to provide context.
