The correct answer is By whom has the work been done?

Key Points

• Active Voice: A given verb is in active voice if the object of the sentence is acted on by the subject.
• Example: The farmer has ploughed the field.
• Passive Voice: A verb is in the passive voice when the subject of the sentence is acted on by the verb.
• Example: The field has been ploughed by the farmer.
• In the question, we are given the sentence that - "Who has done this work" - this sentence is in active voice and if we want to change this sentence into passive voice we have to change the subject into an object.
• Passive voice: "By whom has the work been done?"

The correct answer is: Noun.

Key Points

• The word "Adjective" is a noun.
• In grammar, an adjective is a word that modifies or describes a noun or pronoun, such as "small", "red", or "quickly".
• However, when we are referring to the word "adjective" itself, we are talking about the category or type of word, making "adjective" a noun.
• For example: "An adjective modifies a noun." In this sentence, "adjective" is the subject of the sentence and refers to a category of words, fulfilling the role of a noun.
• To summarize, we use the noun "adjective" to name a particular part of speech, much like we use "noun", "verb", and "adverb" to name other parts of speech.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Noun.
