Hi Nafis, kakak bantu jawab ya :)

Jawabannya adalah "A. a few houses were destroyed by a hurricane".

Pada soal ini kamu diminta untuk mengubah kalimat aktif di atas menjadi kalimat pasif.

Passive voice merupakan bentuk kalimat yang berfokus pada objek yang dikenai suatu kegiatan. Dengan kata lain, untuk mengubah kalimat aktif menjadi pasif, posisi subjek dan objek ditukarkan.

Kalimat "A hurricane destroyed a few houses" (Badai menghancurkan beberapa rumah) merupakan kalimat Simple Past Tense yang ditandai dengan penggunaan kata kerja berbentuk lampau (verb 2) yaitu "destroyed". Dengan demikian, bentuk passive voice juga menggunakan Simple Past Tense.

Kalimat ini jika diubah menjadi pasif, posisi subjek "a hurricane" dan objek "a few houses" ditukarkan. Kalimatnya menjadi "Beberapa rumah dihancurkan oleh badai".

Rumus Simple Past Tense passive adalah:
[S + was/were + Verb 3 + by + O]

Berikut perubahan yang terjadi:
Subject => objek "a few houses" dipindahkan ke depan menjadi subjek.
to be => subjek "a few houses" merupakan subjek jamak yang berpasangan dengan to be "were".
Verb 3 => bentuk verb 3 dari "destroy" adalah "destroyed".
Object/ agent => subjek "a hurricane" dipindahkan ke belakang.

Berdasarkan rumus, susunannya menjadi "a few houses + were + destroyed + by a hurricane".

Jadi, jawabannya adalah "A. a few houses were destroyed by a hurricane".

Semoga membantu ya :)
