Choose the correct passive voice for the active sentence with a prepositional verb: ‘She looks after the children.’
AThe children look after are by her.
BThe children are looking after by her.
CThe children are looked after by her.
DThe children look after by her.
Explanation
Prepositional verbs like ‘look after,’ which combine a verb with a fixed preposition, are passivized by keeping the verb and preposition together, followed by ‘be’ plus the past participle, giving ‘are looked after.’ This closely parallels how phrasal verbs like ‘call off’ are passivized, keeping the full verb phrase intact as a single unit.
