Anything that is not belonged to us must not be taken by us. Answer: c<\/em><\/p>\n Explanation: The active verb `must not take` becomes `must not be taken` in the passive voice. Let`s analyze the original sentence. Subject – we; verb – must not take; object – anything that does not belong to us. When we change an active sentence into a passive sentence, the object of the active verb will become the subject of the passive verb. In this case, the object includes the clause `that does not belong to us`. However, it does not undergo any change in the passive voice. Only the active verb of the main clause changes in the passive voice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Directions: A sentence has been given in active\/passive voice.
