Together the old man and the young boy washed the dishes.Select the correct passive voice:

Explanation

In the original active voice sentence, 'Together the old man and the young boy washed the dishes,' the subjects (the old man and the young boy) perform the action. In converting to passive voice, the object of the active sentence ('the dishes') becomes the subject, and the verb 'wash' is changed to its past participle form 'were washed,' with the original subjects ('the old man and the young boy') becoming the agents introduced by 'by.'The passive voice sentence 'The dishes were washed by the old man and the young boy together' emphasizes the action on the dishes rather than who performed it.Option A and B remain in active voice, and Option D changes the tense to present and remains active. Only Option C accurately reflects the passive form with correct emphasis.
