    Question

    Choose the best option in which the given sentobige has

    been changed from Active Voice to Passive Voice.  I lost my watch in the rural fair.
    A My watch was lost in the rural fair. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B In the rural fair, I lost my watch. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C My watch is lost in the rural fair. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D My watch has been lost in the rural fair. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    EXPLANATION: Option (2) simply changes the word order but not the sentence structure. It remains in active voice. Option (3) uses the present tense with a passive voice structure, but since the event happened in the past, it's inaccurate. Option (4) uses the present perfect tense with a passive voice structure, but it implies the watch might still be lost, which might not be the intended meaning. Option (1) accurately changes the sentence to passive voice with the correct past tense, placing the object ("my watch") as the subject and adding the auxiliary verb "was" with the past participle of the verb ("lost").
