The correct answer is 'The pill would not be swallowed by Rover.'

Key Points

  • The given sentence is an example of Active Voice. As per the given question, we have to change it to Passive Voice. 
  • The process of transformation is as follows:
    • The subject of the given sentence is 'Rover'. 
    • The object of the given sentence is 'the pill'. 
    • Since a modal verb has been used in the active voice, therefore, the passive voice will follow the given structure:-
      • Active Voice - Subject + modal verb(would) + V1 + Object.
      • Passive Voice - Object(Subjective form) modal verb(would) + be + V3 Subject (Objective form).
    • Here, 'would not swallow' is changed into 'would not be swallowed' because in the 'active to passive' transformation third form of the verb is used. 
  • Therefore, as per the above-mentioned points, we find that the correct answer is Option 3. 

Correct Sentence: The pill would not be swallowed by Rover.
