In passive voice, what verb form replaces the main verb?

  1. Third form (past participle)
  2. First form only (base)

Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Third form (past participle)

1. Chapter's main rule lists this clearly. 2. Passive voice always uses the past participle form. 3. Auxiliary verbs vary by tense. 4. Hence option A. _Source: jkchrome.com SSC Active-Passive Voice PDF (Mistral OCR), section on rules_
