Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation:
Passive voice is a grammatical construction in which the subject of a sentence is the receiver of the action rather than the doer of the action.
- In passive voice, the structure is generally formed by using a form of the verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb.
- In the passive construction, "English" becomes the subject.
- "Is spoken" is the passive verb phrase.
- "All over the world" remains the adverbial phrase indicating the location.
The structure of the passive voice is as follows: Object of the active sentence (English) + is/are/am/was/were (is) + past participle of the main verb (spoken) + all over the world.
Therefore, the passive form would be: English is spoken all over the world.
