Choose the correct passive voice for the active sentence with the verb ‘help’: ‘She helped him finish the project.’
AHe helped to finish the project by her.
BHe was helped to finish the project by her.
CHe was helping to finish the project by her.
DHe was helped finish the project by her.
Explanation
Although the verb ‘help’ can be followed by a bare infinitive without ‘to’ in the active voice, as in ‘helped him finish,’ the passive voice requires ‘to’ to be inserted before the infinitive, giving ‘He was helped to finish the project.’ This is a well-known exception similar to the passive rules for perception verbs and the causative ‘make.’ Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
