Directions: In the following question, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active voice.

The guard refused him admittance.

Verbs that take both direct and indirect objects in Active voice are changed to Passive voice, either object may become the subject of the Passive voice, while the other is retained. In this context, ‘Admittance was refused to him by the guard’ is correct as it also follows the correct tense of the sentence. The sentence is in simple past tense; so option 4 is incorrect due to the past perfect tense in Passive voice, although the object is correct.
