correct answer : d)
Explanation:
The active sentence is in the simple past tense (‘did… disregard’). In the passive voice, it should use ‘was/were’ + past participle. ‘The major stylistic irregularities’ is plural, so it takes ‘were’. Thus, ‘Why were the major stylistic irregularities disregarded by the editor?’ is the correct form.
Active वाक्य Simple Past Tense (‘did… disregard’) में है। Passive Voice में इसे ‘was/were + verb की 3rd form’ में बदला जाता है। चूँकि ‘the major stylistic irregularities’ बहुवचन है, इसलिए ‘were disregarded’ का प्रयोग होगा। विकल्प D सही है।
