In this active to passive voice question, the original sentence is “Omkar generously donated money to the orphanage.” Choose the option that best expresses the same meaning in correct passive voice, while preserving the sense of generosity and the act of donating money.

Introduction / Context:
This question tests your understanding of voice transformation in English grammar, specifically converting a sentence from active voice to passive voice. The original sentence describes a completed act of charity by a specific person, Omkar, and the task is to preserve both the meaning and the tense in a proper passive construction. Voice transformation questions are common in exams because they examine your command over verb forms, auxiliaries, and sentence structure.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Active sentence: “Omkar generously donated money to the orphanage.”
• Subject in the active sentence: Omkar.
• Object in the active sentence: money (and an indirect object phrase “to the orphanage”).
• The verb is “donated,” which is in the simple past tense.
• We need a passive voice sentence that keeps the meaning, tense, and sense of generosity intact.

Concept / Approach:
In passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject, the main verb takes a suitable form of “to be” plus the past participle, and the original subject is introduced with “by” if it is still mentioned. The adverb “generously” should remain close to the verb to maintain emphasis on the manner of donating. Because “donated” is in simple past, the passive structure must be “was donated.” Any change to “is donated” would incorrectly shift the tense to present. Additionally, the expression “donating of the money” is awkward and unidiomatic and should be avoided.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Identify the object of the active sentence: “money.” This will become the subject in the passive sentence.Step 2: Keep the indirect object phrase “to the orphanage” attached to the verb phrase in the passive voice sentence.Step 3: Convert the simple past verb “donated” into the passive form “was donated.”Step 4: Insert the adverb “generously” in a natural place near the verb: “was generously donated.”Step 5: Add the original subject using “by”: “by Omkar.”Step 6: Combine all elements: “Money was generously donated to the orphanage by Omkar.”

Verification / Alternative check:
We can check the correctness by converting the passive option back into active voice. Starting from “Money was generously donated to the orphanage by Omkar,” we reverse the structure to get “Omkar generously donated money to the orphanage,” which exactly matches the original sentence. The tense, subject, object, and sense of generosity all remain unchanged. Therefore this option is a perfect passive transformation of the given active sentence.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Option B uses “is generously donated,” which is in the present tense, while the original sentence clearly refers to a completed past action. Option C and option D use the phrase “Donating of the money,” which is ungrammatical and awkward; English does not normally express passive constructions with “donating of the money was done.” Additionally, option D uses present tense “is done,” which again does not match the past tense of the original. These structures fail either in tense consistency or in natural idiomatic usage.

Common Pitfalls:
A common error is to forget to match the tense when converting between active and passive voice, leading to incorrect use of “is” instead of “was.” Another pitfall is believing that any sentence beginning with a gerund like “Donating of” must be passive, when in fact it often creates clumsy or incorrect structures. Students should remember that standard passive voice uses “be” plus the past participle, not a gerund phrase. It is also important to keep adverbs like “generously” close to the main verb so that the intended emphasis on manner is preserved.

Final Answer:
The correct passive voice transformation of the sentence is Money was generously donated to the orphanage by Omkar.
