          A.  Active and Passive Voice ( Questions )

                The active voice tells us what the subject does. The passive voice tells us the result of the
              action or who the receiver of the action is. Questions beginning with what, why, when, where,
              who,whom, whose, how are known as ‘wh’ questions.

              We can change a wh question from active voice to passive voice.
              Study the example below.

              Active Voice :    Wh word + auxiliary verb + subject + verb + object?
                                How did the girl solve the problem?
