Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice. Alice saw a rabbit with a watch going into a hole.
Answer: D
The passive voice is 'A rabbit with a watch was seen going into a hole by Alice.'
The active sentence is in the simple past ('saw'). The passive uses 'was seen' with the object as the new subject and the doer in a 'by' phrase.
Options A and B use present tenses, and C mixes up the objects, saying that a hole was going into a rabbit.
For the passive of a sentence in the simple past, the verb is 'was/were' plus the past participle. The object of the active sentence, 'a rabbit with a watch', becomes the subject, and the doer is introduced by 'by'. Option D follows this exactly and keeps the meaning.
