Question

Change the following from active to passive: The jury has delivered a unanimous verdict.

• A. A unanimous verdict has been delivered by the jury.
• B. A unanimous verdict was being delivered by the jury.
• C. A unanimous verdict had been delivered by the jury.
• D. A unanimous verdict is delivered by the jury.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. A unanimous verdict has been delivered by the jury.

• A unanimous verdict has been delivered by the jury.

• The original sentence is in the Present Perfect tense (has delivered). When converting to the passive voice, the present perfect tense shifts to has/have + been + past participle (has been delivered).
