Change to passive voice: The nurse administered the injection.

  • A. The injection was administered by the nurse
  • B. The injection is administered by the nurse
  • C. The injection has been administered by the nurse
  • D. The injection administered the nurse

Explanation

The active verb is in the simple past, so the passive must be was administered, keeping the same tense. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive one and the original subject moves into a by phrase. Changing to is administered or has been administered would shift the tense, which a voice change must never do.
