Q19
EnglishVoice, Narration & Sentence Transformation
Correct passive form of 'Orange tastes sour' is
  1. a.Orange is tasted sour.
  2. b.Orange is sour after tasting.
  3. c.Orange is sour when tasted.
  4. d.Orange is tasted as sour.

Answer: (C) Orange is sour when tasted.

Since "taste" here is a linking verb describing a quality, the natural passive-style equivalent is "is sour when tasted", not a literal passive.
