Question

Yesterday was the worst day of my life, because it was the day my grandmother passed away. She had always been healthy and energetic, so everyone thought she would live for a long time. I was so shocked when I
heard the news of her passing, and I immediately regretted that I was not there with her during her last moments.

Neither my parents nor I were with her, because the three of us were in Paris on vacation. Supposedly, my grandmother was to be with us on our trip to Paris, but she suddenly canceled. My parents were a little upset with her because they had bought the plane ticket, and they could not refund it. Moreover, my grandmother stubbornly refused to tell us the reason for her sudden cancellation.

I knew that parting on bad terms might be a sign of something bad happening. As my parents and I were enjoying the glamorous city of Paris, something unsettling tugged my heart, and I could not erase the thought of my grandmother from my head. I kept pretending that I was enjoying myself, but I was missing my grandmother so badly.

Finally, my parents and I arrived in our hometown. We stood under the rain over my grandmother's grave. My parents and I were grieving, more than ever since an old doctor paid a visit. He said that my grandmother actually had a terminal cancer, but she had begged him to keep this from her family. He said that my grandmother might have felt that her time was soon, so she canceled the trip because she wanted to spend her last days in her hometown. However, she did not wish to ruin our family's fun, so she refused to tell us her reasons to let us have a happy vacation.

Dalam soal ini, kamu diminta untuk mengubah kalimat aktif menjadi kalimat pasif (passive voice) secara tepat.

Kalimat soal yakni:
In the text above, there is a sentence "my grandmother had begged the doctor". This sentence's passive voice is ...
(Dalam teks di atas, ada kalimat "my grandmother had begged the doctor". Kalimat pasifnya yakni ...)

Passive voice adalah jenis kalimat di mana subjek kalimat bukanlah pelaku dari sebuah tindakan, melainkan menjadi penerima tindakan. Subjek pada kalimat aktif posisinya berubah menjadi objek pada kalimat pasif dan objek pada kalimat aktif posisinya berubah menjadi subjek pada kalimat pasif.

Secara umum, pola dari passive voice yakni: to be + Past Participle (Verb 3)

Kalimat aktif pada soal:
My grandmother had begged the doctor
(Nenekku memohon kepada dokter.)
-Subjek: my grandmother
-Objek: the doctor
-Had begged sebagai Past Perfect

Apabila diubah menjadi kalimat pasif, perubahannya yakni:
"The doctor had been begged by my grandmother."
(Dokter itu dimohon oleh nenekku.)
-Subjek: the doctor
-Objek: my grandmother
-Had been begged sebagai to be + Past Participle

Jawaban yang seharusnya bagi soal ini adalah: 
The doctor had been begged by my grandmother

Oleh karena itu, tidak ada pilihan jawaban yang benar pada soal ini.

Semoga membantu ya.
