Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice.
Tell him to get out of our house.

A
He is told to get out of our house.

B
Let him be told to get out of our house.

C
He might be told to get out of our house.

D
He should be told that he may get out of our house.

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 B)Let him be told to get out of our house.
The option B is correct as the given sentence is in the active voice and to transform it into the passive voice, the subject of the given sentence comes in the place of the object(him) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the simple present tense, 'let' is added and 'be' is used after 'him'.
Options A, C, and D are wrong as the sentence structure is wrong,'might be' cannot be used, and 'should be'gives a different meaning respectively.
Question 2
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice:
Someone pulled the bull violently.

A
The bull had been pulled violently by someone.

B
The bull was to be pulled violently by someone.

C
The bull had been pull violently.

D
The bull was pulled violently.

Solution

The given sentence is in active voice as the subject 'someone' performs an action 'pulled' against the object 'bull'.
To change to passive voice, 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 (Someone) + verb (pulled) + object (the bull) + adverb (violently)' changes to:
'New subject (The bull) + verb (was pulled) + adverb (violently)'
The passive form of 'pulled' in the simple past tense is 'was pulled'.
This can be seen in option D, hence it's the right answer.
The pronoun 'someone' is indefinite, it does not refer to a particular person. Hence in passive voice it can be implied.

Option A: The verb form 'had been pulled' expresses the past perfect tense whereas the sentence is in simple past tense.
Option B: This sentence has changed in meaning. The verb phrase 'was to be pulled' means that it was meant or supposed to be pulled. The original sentence does not convey the same meaning.
Option C: Similarly, 'had been pulled' is in the past perfect tense.
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice.
Don't speak until someone speaks to you.

A
Don't speak until you will be spoken to.

B
Don't speak until someone is spoken to.

C
Don't speak until you have been spoken to.

D
Don't speak until someone has been spoken to.

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 option C is correct as the given sentence is in the active voice and to transform it into passive voice the subject of the given sentence
(someone) comes in the place of the object (you) and vice-versa.
Also, as the given sentence is in the simple present tense and the conjunction 'until' is used, the helping verb 'have' (because of until) is followed by 'been'.
Options A, B, and D are wrong as the helping verb used in the transformed sentence (will be) is not appropriate, the subject is not in its place, and the subject is not its place with the appropriate helping verb respectively.
The correct answer is C)Don't speak until you have been spoken to.
Question 4
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice:
Who taught you Grammar?

A
By whom you were taught Grammar?

B
By whom were taught you Grammar?

C
By whom was Grammar you taught?

D
By whom was Grammar taught to you?

Solution

The given sentence is in the active voice, as the subject 'Who' performs an action 'gave' against the object 'you' in the interrogative.
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 (Who) + verb (taught) + indirect object (you) + direct object (Grammar)' changes to:
'By + subject (whom) + auxiliary verb (were) + indirect object (you) + main verb (taught) + direct object (Grammar)'
The passive form of 'taught' in the simple past tense is 'was/were taught'.
This can be seen in option D, hence it's the right answer.

Option A: The verb 'were' comes before the object 'you' and not after, because it's an interrogative sentence.
Option B: 'Were' will come before the object 'you' and won't be followed by the main verb 'taught', since the phrase 'taught you' is active.
Option C: The error lies between these words 'Grammar you taught' since the sentence ends with the verb 'taught'. Sentences do not end with verbs, and are placed as close to the subject as possible.
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice:
I expected him to give us financial aid.

A
It was expected of him to give us financial aid.

B
Let it be expected that he would give us financial aid.

C
It was expected by me that he will give us financial aid.

D
He may expected to give us financial aid.

Solution

The given sentence is in the active voice, as the subject 'I' performs an action 'expected'..
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 (I) + verb (expected) + object (him) + infinitive phrase (to give us financial aid)' changes to:
'New subject (It) + verb (was expected) + by + new object (me) + relative clause (that he will give us financial aid)'
This can be seen in option C, hence it's the right answer.
Also, the action 'expected' is not being received by the object 'him', since the verb 'expect' is an assumption. Also, if we change the object 'him' to the subject: 'He was expected by me to give us financial aid.' sounds a bit strange. Hence we begin the sentence with 'it' and add a relative clause 'that he will give us financial aid'.

Option A: The words 'by me' are missing. Because of that, the sentence has slightly changed in meaning.
Option B: This sentence too has changed in meaning. The phrase 'let it be expected' is imperative, whereas the original sentence is assertive.
Option D: The modal verb 'may' expresses a possibility. But the word 'may' is not a part of the original sentence. Also, 'he may expect' is in active voice.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice.
Why haven't they allowed you to go?

A
Why you haven't been allowed to go?

B
Why haven't you been allowed to go?

C
Why were you not allowed to go?

D
Why you were not allowed to go?

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 B)Why haven't you been allowed to go?
The option B is correct as the given sentence is in the active voice and to transform it into the passive voice, the subject of the given sentence (they) comes in the place of the object(you) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the present perfect tense, 'been' is added after 'you' and before the past participle form of the main verb(allow).
Options A, C, and D are wrong as the sentence structure is wrong,'were' cannot be used and 'you' cannot come before the auxiliary verb respectively.
Question 7
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice:
The principal kept the staff members waiting.

A
The staff members were kept waiting for the principal.

B
The staff members were kept waiting by the principal.

C
The staff members were waiting for the principal.

D
The staff members were being kept waiting for the principal.

Solution

The given sentence is in the active voice, as the subject 'The principal' performs an action 'kept' against the object 'the staff members'.
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 principal) + verb (kept) + object (the staff members) + object complement (waiting)' changes to:
'New subject (The staff members) + verb (were kept) + object complement (waiting) + by + new object (the principal)'
This can be seen in option B, hence it's the right answer.

Option A: The word 'for' does not express the source of the action, i.e., the principal. It was the principal that kept the members waiting. This option means that the members were kept waiting (directed by somebody else) for the principal. It has changed in meaning.
Option C: 'Were waiting' is a verb form in the active voice, whereas the sentence is asked to be changed to passive.
Option D: 'Being' in 'being kept waiting' expresses continuous tense whereas the given sentence is in simple past tense.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice.
The smugglers did not realize that their conversation was being recorded.

A
The smugglers did not realise that someone was recording their conversation.

B
Someone did not realise that the smugglers were recording their conversation.

C
It was not realised by the smugglers that their conversation was being recorded.

D
The smugglers recorded their conversation without realising.

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 option C is correct as the given sentence is in the active voice and to transform it into passive voice the subject of the given sentence
(The smugglers) comes in the place of the object (which is not mentioned here) and vice-versa, so, the transformed sentence should start with 'it'.
Also, as the sentence is in the simple past tense, 'was' is used before the past participle form of the main verb (realize).
Options A, B, and D are wrong as the subject is not in its place in the transformed sentence,'someone' cannot be used here as the answer to who didn't realize is 'The smugglers', not 'Someone', and the meaning of the transformed sentence comes different from what is given respectively.
The correct answer is C)It was not realised by the smugglers that their conversation was being recorded.
Question 9
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice.
Cigarette smoking causes two million deaths annually in the industrial states.

A
Cigarette smoking has been causing two million deaths annually in the industrial states.

B
Two million deaths are caused annually by cigarette smoking in the industrial states.

C
Two million deaths are being caused by cigarette smoking annually in the industrial states.

D
Two million deaths have been caused annually by cigarette smoking in the industrial states.

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 option B is correct as the given sentence is in the active voice and to transform it into passive voice the subject of the given sentence
(Cigarette smoking) comes in the place of the object (two million deaths) and vice-versa.
Also, as the given sentence is in the simple present tense, the helping verb 'are' is followed by the past participle form of the main verb (cause) and 'annually' comes after the verb as the meaning changes when we put it somewhere else in the structure.
Options A, C, and D are wrong as the subject is not in its place, the given sentence is not in the present continuous tense, and the given sentence is not in the present perfect tense respectively.
The correct answer is B)Two million deaths are caused annually by cigarette smoking in the industrial states.
Question 10
1 / -0

Has the price rise affected all the people?

A
Have all the people been affected by the price rise?

B
Are all the people being affected by the price rise?

C
Had all the people being affected by the price rise?

D
Are all the people affected by the price rise?

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 A)Have all the people been affected by the price rise?
The option A is correct as the given sentence is in the active voice and to transform it into the passive voice, the subject of the given sentence(the price) comes in the place of the object(all the people) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the present perfect tense, 'been' is added after the subject of the transformed sentence.
Options B, C, and D are wrong as the given sentence is in the present perfect tense, 'being' cannot be used and the given sentence is not in the simple past tense respectively.
