Change the voice from Active to Passive and select the correct option :
Bees make honey

Question

Accepted Answer

To transform the sentence "Bees make honey" from active to passive voice, we need to follow a specific structure. In passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb form is also adjusted to accommodate the passive structure, typically using a form of "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb.

1. **Explanation for Option 4: "Honey is made by bees"**
   - This option correctly transforms the active sentence into passive voice. In the active sentence, "bees" is the subject, "make" is the verb, and "honey" is the object. In the passive sentence, "honey" becomes the subject, "is made" is the correct passive verb form (using "is" as the form of "to be" for present tense and "made" as the past participle of "make"), and "by bees" indicates the agent performing the action. This structure accurately reflects the passive voice transformation.

2. **Explanation for why the other options are incorrect:**

- **Option 1: "Honey is make by bees"**
     - This option is incorrect because it uses the wrong verb form. "Make" is not the past participle of "make." The correct past participle is "made," which is used in Option 4. Therefore, the verb form in Option 1 is grammatically incorrect for passive voice.

- **Option 2: "Bees are making honey"**
     - This option is incorrect because it is not in passive voice. It retains the active voice structure, with "bees" as the subject and "are making" as the present continuous verb form. The task requires changing the sentence to passive voice, which Option 2 does not accomplish.

- **Option 3: "Honey are made by bees"**
     - This option is incorrect due to subject-verb agreement. "Honey" is a singular noun, so it should be paired with the singular verb "is" rather than the plural "are." The correct verb form, as used in Option 4, is "is made."

In conclusion, Option 4, "Honey is made by bees," is the only option that correctly transforms the active sentence into passive voice while maintaining proper grammatical structure and subject-verb agreement.
