A.

B.

C.
played by him
Answer
D.
None of these

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Correct Sentence: Afridi plays the Harmonium and the sitar is played by him also.

In this sentence, we are ensuring proper grammatical structure and pronoun usage. The verb "played" needs to be in the passive form "played by him" to match the structure of the first part of the sentence.

Incorrect Options:

Option A: played
This option is incorrect because it does not complete the sentence correctly. "Played" on its own does not provide the necessary subject and makes the sentence incomplete.

Option B: played by he
This option is incorrect due to incorrect pronoun usage. "He" is a subject pronoun and should not be used in the object position. The correct object pronoun is "him".

Option D: None of these
This option is incorrect because there is a correct answer among the provided options, which is "played by him".

Example of correct usage:
Afridi plays the Harmonium and the sitar is played by him also.

This construction ensures clarity and grammatical correctness, maintaining the passive voice consistency in the sentence.
