Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice.
Let me do this.

A
Let us do this.

B
This is to be done by me.

C
Let this be done by me.

D
Let I do this.

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verb depends upon the sentence given in the active voice.
The correct answer is C)Let this be done by me.
Option C is correct as the subject of the given sentence (you- it is understandable that the speaker is speaking to someone in front of him) comes in the place of the object (me) and vice versa, the same tense is used (simple present tense), 'be' is used with the past participle of the main verb(do).
Question 2
1 / -0

Change the following statement into active voice:
He was obliged to resign.

A
He was make to resign.

B
To resign was his obligation.

C
Circumstances obliged him to resign.

D
Resignation obliged him.

Solution

The given sentence is in the passive voice, as the subject 'He' receives an action 'was obliged'.
If this sentence is changed to active voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.
So, the object takes the place of the subject and vice versa. The verb form of the sentence is also changed from passive form to active.

'Subject (He) + verb (was obliged) + infinitive (to resign)' changes to:
'New subject (Circumstances) + verb (obliged) + new object (him) + infinitive (to resign)'
The active form of 'was obliged' in the simple past tense is 'obliged '. Since the passive form does not have an object, the object is implied in the sentence: He was obliged to resign by circumstances, where 'circumstances' is assumed to be the object.
This can be seen in option C, hence it's the right answer.

Option A: The verb form 'was make to' is wrong since 'make' is not a past tense verb.
Option B: The sentence has been changed in structure. The verb 'obliged' has been changed to the noun 'obligation'.
Option D: Similarly, 'resign' is a verb form that has been changed to the noun 'resignation'. Also, the meaning of the sentence has changed.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice.
The Principal has granted him a scholarship.

A
A scholarship has granted to him by the Principal.

B
He has been granted a scholarship by the Principal.

C
He has granted a scholarship by the Principal.

D
A scholarship was granted to him by the Principal.

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.
The correct answer is B)He has been granted a scholarship by the Principal.
The option B is correct as the given sentence is in active voice and to transform it into passive voice the subject of the given sentence
(The Principal) comes in the place of the object(him) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the present perfect tense, 'been' is added after the helping verb 'has' and before the past participle form of the main verb(grant).
Options A, C, and D are wrong as 'a scholarship' cannot be the subject in the transformed sentence,'been' is not used here, and the given sentence is not in the simple past tense respectively.
Question 4
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice:
The accountant took the money from the customer.

A
The money is taken from the customer by the accountant.

B
The money was taken from the customer by the accountant.

C
The customer was taken the money by the accountant.

D
The money had been taken from the customer by the accountant.

Solution

The given sentence is in the active voice, as the subject 'The accountant' performs an action 'took' against the object 'the money'.
If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.
So, the object takes the place of the subject and vice versa and the word 'by' is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the object. The verb form of the sentence is also changed from active form to passive.

'Subject (The accountant) + verb (took) + object (the money) + prepositional phrase (from the the customer) changes to:
'New subject (The money) + verb (was taken) + by + new object (the accountant) + prepositional phrase (from the the customer).
The passive form of 'took' in the simple past tense is 'was/were taken'.
This can be seen in option B, hence it's the right answer.

Option A: The tense of the given sentence is in past, whereas here the verb 'is' expresses the simple present tense. The voice of the sentence has changed, but the tense still remains the same.
Option C: The meaning of the sentence is vague: 'the customer was taken the money' which does not have a complete meaning.
Option D: 'Had been taken' expresses the past perfect tense. But the sentence is in the simple past tense.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Change the following statement into active voice.
Before festivals the shops are thronged with men, women and children making various purchases.

A
During festivals people throng the shops.

B
Men, women and children throng the shops before festivals making various purchases.

C
Men, women and children make purchases during festivals.

D
The shops are thronged by people making purchases.

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.
The correct answer is B)Men, women, and children throng the shops before festivals making various purchases.
The option B is correct as the given sentence is in the passive voice and to transform it into the active voice, the subject of the given sentence (the shops) comes in the place of the object(men, women, and children) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the simple present tense, the first form of the verb (throng) is used.
Options A, C, and D are wrong as the sentence is not structured correctly, the object is missing, and the subject is not in its place respectively.
Question 6
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice:
The peon refused him admittance.

A
He was refused admittance by the peon.

B
Admittance is refused to him by the peon.

C
Admittance was refused by the peon to him.

D
Admittance is refused him by the peon.

Solution

The given sentence is in the active voice, as the subject 'The peon' performs an action 'refused' against the object 'him'.
If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.
So, the object takes the place of the subject and vice versa and the word 'by' is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the object. The verb form of the sentence is also changed from active form to passive.

'Subject (The peon) + verb (refused) + indirect object (him) + direct object (admittance)' changes to:
'New subject (He) + verb (was refused) + direct object (admittance) + by + new object (the peon)'
The passive form of 'refused' in the simple past tense is 'was/were refused'.
This can be seen in option A, hence it's the right answer.

Option B: The verb 'is' expresses the simple present tense whereas the sentence is in the past 'refused'.
Option C: The given sentence has two possible passive forms, as there are two objects: indirect object (him) and direct object (admittance). When the direct object 'admittance' is made the subject, then the indirect object 'him' follows the verb. The new object 'by the peon' should come last, and shouldn't be followed by the indirect object 'him'.
So, this option does not have the correct passive form.
Option D: The preposition 'to' is missing. Since the indirect object 'him' comes after the direct object 'admittance', the word 'to' is essential.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice:
The noise of the traffic kept me awake.

A
I was kept awake by the noise of the traffic.

B
The traffic kept me awake by the noise.

C
I kept myself awake due to the noise of the traffic.

D
I remained awake by the noise of the traffic.

Solution

The given sentence is in the active voice, as the subject 'The noise of the traffic' performs an action 'kept' against the object 'me'.
If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.
So, the object takes the place of the subject and vice versa and the word 'by' is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the object. The verb form of the sentence is also changed from active form to passive.
The subject here is a noun phrase.
'Subject (The noise of the traffic) + verb (kept) + object (me) + object complement (awake)' changes to:
'New subject (I) + verb (was kept) + object complement (awake) + by + new object (the noise of the traffic)'
The passive form of 'kept' in the simple past tense is 'was kept'.
This can be seen in option A, hence it's the right answer.

Option B: The subject here has been split into two parts and placed before and after the verb 'kept'. As a result, the meaning of the sentence has changed.
Option C: The subject here 'I' is performing the action towards itself. The meaning of the sentence has hence changed.
Option D: Here the verb 'kept' has been replaced by 'remained', which is not called for.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice.
Whom does he look for?

A
Whom he is looked after for?

B
Who is looked after for him?

C
Who is looked for by him?

D
Whom he is looked after by ?

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in the active voice.
The correct answer is C)Who is looked for by him?
Option C is correct as the subject of the given interrogative sentence (he) comes in the place of the implicit use of the object (that what answers 'who') and vice versa, the same tense (simple present tense) is used with the appropriate helping verb(is) and the past participle of the main verb(look) with the correct preposition 'for'.
Question 9
1 / -0

The beavers have built a perfect dam across the stream.

A
A perfect dam had been built by the beavers across the stream.

B
A perfect dam has been built by the beavers across the stream.

C
A perfect dam have been built by the beavers across the stream.

D
A perfect dam was being built by the beavers across the stream.

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.
The correct answer is B)A perfect dam has been built by the beavers across the stream.
The option B is correct as the given sentence is in the active voice and to transform it into the passive active voice, the subject of the given sentence (the beavers) comes in the place of the object (a perfect dam) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the present perfect tense, the past participle form of the main verb (build) is used after 'been'.
Options A, C, and D are wrong as the given sentence is not in the past perfect tense, the helping verb 'have' cannot be used in the transformed sentence as its subject is singular, and the sentence is not in the past continuous tense respectively.
Question 10
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice.

A
All the instructions are carefully followed by us.

B
All the instructions were carefully followed by us.

C

D
All the instructions can be carefully followed by us.

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.
The correct answer is C)All the instructions should be carefully followed by you.
The option C is correct as the given sentence is in the active voice and to transform it into the passive active voice, the subject of the given sentence (you) comes in the place of the object (all the instructions) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the simple present tense, the past participle form of the main verb (follow) is used after the adverb 'carefully'.
Options A, B, and D are wrong as the given sentence is in the active voice, the given sentence is not in the simple past tense, and the modal auxiliary verb(can) is not same as in the given sentence respectively.
