- C. The bird was killed by the gun by the hunter.
- D. The bird was killed by the gun with the hunter.
Explanation
- The original sentence "The hunter killed the bird with the gun" is in active voice, where the subject "the hunter" performs the action of killing.- To convert it to passive voice, we need to make the bird the subject, and the action (killing) is performed on it. Hence, the correct passive voice construction is "The bird was killed with the gun by the hunter".- This construction emphasizes the bird, rather than the person performing the action (the hunter).

About Active and Passive Voice
Active voice presents the doer as the subject, while passive voice presents the receiver of the action and uses an appropriate form of “be” with the past participle. Questions cover tense changes, modal verbs, omitted agents and sentences that cannot be passivized because they lack a suitable object.
