    D The teacher praises the students for their hard work Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Option (a) expresses the given sentence in passive voice. The passive voice is formed by using a form of the auxiliary verb “be” (be, am, is, are, was, were, being, been) followed by the past participle of the main verb. Although not always the case, the passive voice is typically marked with “by” before the performer of the action in a sentence. In passive voice the object becomes the subject.
