Select the correct passive voice:
She needs to clean the room.
- A
The room needed to clean by her.
- B
The room needed to be cleaned by her.
- C
The room needs to be clean by her.
- D
The room needs to be cleaned by her.
Option D correctly uses the passive voice. It uses the auxiliary verb "be" in combination with the past participle form of the verb "cleaned" to form the passive construction.
This option is incorrect because it uses the past tense ("needed") instead of the present tense ("needs") and does not match the original sentence. The correct form for the passive voice would be "needs to be cleaned."
