Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: B
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 2 flawlessly execute simple past tense passive conversions. Statement 3 commits a tense violation.Structural Breakdown: Statement 1 correctly identifies the plural object "3 centuries" and pairs it with the plural auxiliary "were". Statement 2 correctly identifies the singular object "cricket match" and pairs it with the singular auxiliary "was". Historical/Related Context: The sentence regarding Shubman Gill scoring centuries was a direct question from the SSC CGL 2024 Tier-I Official Paper (Shift 2) held on September 26, 2024, reflecting the recent trend of using contemporary sporting events in grammar tests.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 3 is incorrect because the active sentence "Radha wrote the homework" is in the Simple Past tense.
The proposed passive conversion ("has been written") is in the Present Perfect tense.
The timeline cannot be altered.
The correct passive is "The homework was written by Radha."
