A sentence has been given in Active voice. Out of the four given alternatives, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive voice: Ram loves Sita.

Introduction / Context:
This question examines your understanding of converting a sentence from Active to Passive voice while preserving tense and meaning. The original sentence, “Ram loves Sita”, is in the simple present tense and describes a general, ongoing feeling or action. The correct passive form must also be in the simple present and must keep the relationship between Ram and Sita intact.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Active sentence: “Ram loves Sita.”
• Subject: Ram.
• Verb: loves (simple present).
• Object: Sita.
• We must transform this into a passive sentence beginning with Sita.
• Options present various tense and structure combinations; only one can be correct.

Concept / Approach:
To change from Active to Passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. In the simple present tense, the passive structure is: subject + is/am/are + past participle of the verb + by + agent (if mentioned). The verb love has the past participle loved. So “Ram loves Sita” becomes “Sita is loved by Ram.” This form correctly reflects simple present tense and preserves the meaning.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Identify the object in the active sentence: Sita. She will become the subject in the passive sentence.Identify the tense: loves is simple present; therefore, the passive must also be simple present.Form the passive verb phrase: is loved (since Sita is singular, we use is + past participle loved).Add the agent using by: by Ram.Combine these: “Sita is loved by Ram.”Check the options and select the one that exactly matches this structure.

Verification / Alternative check:
Compare each option with the required structure:“Sita was loved by Ram” – past tense (was) rather than present, so tense is changed incorrectly.“Sita is loved by Ram” – simple present passive, correct subject verb agreement and accurate meaning.“Sita loves by Ram” – missing auxiliary verb is and wrong structure; grammatically incorrect.“Sita loved by Ram” – lacks the auxiliary verb is; this is a fragment, not a full sentence.Thus, “Sita is loved by Ram” is the only grammatically correct passive version preserving tense and meaning.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Sita was loved by Ram” shifts the time reference to the past, which changes the original statement from a general present feeling to something that happened earlier. “Sita loves by Ram” is ungrammatical because in passive constructions we must include an auxiliary verb (is/am/are) before the past participle. “Sita loved by Ram” is only a participial phrase, not a complete sentence; it could be part of a larger sentence but cannot stand alone as the full passive transformation.

Common Pitfalls:
Students sometimes forget to keep the tense consistent when changing voice, especially between simple present and simple past. A helpful rule is: simple present active (loves) becomes is/am/are + past participle (is loved) in passive. Also remember that the auxiliary verb is essential in passive voice; without it, the sentence is incomplete. Practising many examples like “He writes a letter → A letter is written by him” will make these transformations more automatic in exams.

Final Answer:
The correct Passive voice form of “Ram loves Sita” is: Sita is loved by Ram.
