Hint:

Remember the Passive Voice formula: \[ \boxed{\text{Subject + be verb + Past Participle (V}_3\text{)}} \] Always check whether the helping verb and the past participle are used correctly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The Passive Voice is formed when the object of an active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. General structure: \[ \boxed{\text{Subject + Helping Verb + Past Participle (V}_3\text{) + by + Agent}} \] The helping verb changes according to the tense.

Step 1: Examine Option (A).
\[ \text{The little boy is so thirsty and he has given the water.} \] This is not a passive construction. The sentence is in active voice. Hence, incorrect.

Step 2: Examine Option (B).
\[ \text{The fruits will being served...} \] The correct passive structure should be: \[ \text{will be served} \] Therefore, this option is grammatically incorrect.

Step 3: Examine Option (C).
\[ \text{The students are given the choice to use the calculators in the exam.} \] Structure: \[ \text{Subject + are + Past Participle (given)} \] This is a grammatically correct passive sentence.

Step 4: Examine Option (D).
\[ \text{The flowers were shower by the audience...} \] The past participle of “shower” is: \[ \boxed{\text{showered}} \] Hence, this sentence is incorrect.

Step 5: Final conclusion.
Therefore, the only grammatically correct passive sentence is: \[ \boxed{\text{The students are given the choice to use the calculators in the exam.}} \]
