Choose the correct passive voice transformation: 'The medical team successfully resuscitated the trauma victim.'
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. The trauma victim was successfully resuscitated by the medical team
- Step 1: Active past simple 'resuscitated' transforms into passive past simple 'was/were resuscitated'. Step 2. 'The trauma victim' is singular, yielding: 'The trauma victim was successfully resuscitated by the medical team.' Answer: The trauma victim was successfully resuscitated by the medical team. Why not the others: 'is resuscitated' is present tense; 'has been resuscitated' is present perfect; 'were' is plural.
