B) Is not give
C) Does not given
D) Is not given

Answer 1

Hint: Passive voice means that a subject is a recipient of a verb’s action. For example: Active voice: Monkeys adore bananas and passive voice: Bananas are adored by Monkeys.

Complete answer:
Option A) Do not give – is an incorrect answer because ‘do’ is the verb in the active form. The meaning of the word ‘do’ is ‘to perform an action’. This word is not used in the passive voice. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Is not give – is an incorrect answer because ‘is not give – give is the base form of the verb, given is the past tense form and is used in the passive voice. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option C) Does not given – is an incorrect answer because ‘does not given’ – does is the verb in the active form and does is form of do in the present tense. Cannot be used in passive voice. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option D) Is not given – is the correct answer because ‘is not given’ is the appropriate form and formed by the simple present tense verb ‘is’, negative adverb – not, and past participle – given is used and this is the correct formation of the passive voice. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘D’.

Note: Passive voice focuses on the person or thing that receives an action rather than performing an action. For example, 'My floor was cleaned by me.' The basic structure of passive voice is: the appropriate form of the verb 'to be' + past participle. So, option D is the most appropriate answer as compared to any other option.
