Choose the correct passive voice for the active sentence containing a phrasal verb: ‘They called off the meeting.’
AThe meeting was called off by.
BThe meeting called off was.
COff the meeting was called.
DThe meeting was called off.
Explanation
Phrasal verbs, which combine a main verb with a particle such as ‘off,’ ‘up,’ or ‘down,’ are passivized by keeping the verb and its particle together, followed by ‘be’ plus the past participle, giving ‘was called off.’ The particle must remain directly attached to the verb rather than being separated or moved elsewhere in the sentence.
