Passive Voice

easy
English

Afridi plays the harmonium and the sitar is _____ also.

A
Played
B
Played by he
C
Played by him
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The correct sentence is 'Afridi plays the harmonium and the sitar is played by him also.' This is because the second part of the sentence is in passive voice and requires the object pronoun 'him' after 'played by' to be grammatically correct. Option C 'Played by him' correctly completes the sentence. Option A 'Played' is incomplete and grammatically incorrect in this context. Option B 'Played by he' is incorrect because 'he' is a subject pronoun and cannot be used as the object of the preposition 'by'. Option D 'None of these' is incorrect as option C is the correct choice.
