2. The active sentence "She hates people looking at her" converts to the passive voice as "She hates being looked at by people."
3. The active sentence "He likes people to call him Sir" converts to the passive voice as "He likes to be called Sir."
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: B
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 2 and 3 correctly transform gerunds and infinitives. Statement 1 applies the wrong non-finite verb structure.The "I remember..." format is a classic template repeated across multiple shifts in 2024.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 1 is incorrect because the active sentence uses a gerund ("taking"). The proposed passive sentence incorrectly switches to an infinitive ("to be taken"). The correct passive conversion must maintain the gerund form: "I remember being taken to the zoo by my father."
