Select the option that expresses the sentence in passive voice.
The Professor warned me to complete my practicals before the stipulated time.

  • A.I had been warned by the Professor to complete my practicals before the stipulated time.
  • B.I was warned by the Professor to complete my practicals before the stipulated time.
  • C.I had to complete my practicals before the stipulated time as warned by the Professor.
  • D.I had been warned to complete the practicals before the stipulated time by my Professor.

Answer: B

The passive is 'I was warned by the Professor to complete my practicals before the stipulated time'. The active sentence is in the simple past, so the passive uses 'was warned' with 'me' as the new subject. Option A uses the past perfect and option D uses it too, so each changes the tense. Option C no longer says the Professor did the warning in a passive form. The sentence is simple past tense in the active voice, 'warned', so the passive keeps the simple past, 'was warned', and the infinitive 'to complete my practicals' stays as it is. The past perfect passive of options A and D wrongly shifts the time of the warning.
