Question

The sentence “he was punished” becomes “why was he punished?” it is :

• A. Passivation transformation
• B. Interrogative transformation
• C. Do support transformation
• D. Negation

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Interrogative transformation

The sentence:

• "He was punished" → is a declarative sentence in the passive voice.

• When changed to "Why was he punished?", it becomes a question, specifically a WH-interrogative.

This transformation involves:

• Placing the auxiliary verb "was" before the subject "he".

• Adding the WH-word "why" at the beginning.
