Change to passive voice: The doctor examined the patient.

  • A. The patient is examined by the doctor
  • B. The patient was examined by the doctor
  • C. The patient has been examined by the doctor
  • D. The patient examined the doctor

Explanation

The active sentence is in the past simple, so the passive keeps that tense with was plus the past participle. Changing to is or has been alters the time frame, which a voice change must never do. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive one.
