Question

He ate an Orange. Begin with an Orange, An Orange _____ ?

• A. ate by him
• B. is eating by him
• C. had eaten by him
• D. was eaten by him

Answer 1

Answer:

D. was eaten by him

• "Was eaten by him" is in the passive voice, which is used to emphasize the action being done to the subject rather than who is performing the action.
• "An Orange was eaten by him." / അവൻ ഒരു ഓറഞ്ച് കഴിച്ചു.
• "Ate by him": This is grammatically incorrect as it does not use the passive voice properly.
• "Is eating by him": This is incorrect because "is eating" is present continuous, not fitting the past tense of the original sentence.
• "Had eaten by him": This is incorrect as it is in the past perfect tense, which is not appropriate for this context.
