Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    From the below options, identify the sentence which is in passive voice:
    Solution
    A sentence is in active or passive voice depending on whether its verb is in active or passive voice. A verb is in active voice when its form shows that the subject does something or some action. A verb is in passive voice when something is done to the subject. 

    In option A, the subject is "I" and the action word performed by the subject is "have". This is in the active voice, making option A incorrect.
    In option B, the subject is "I". The action performed on the subject is "was asked". This is in the passive voice, making option B correct.
    In option C, the subject is "My teacher" and the action performed by the subject is "asked". This is in the active voice, making option C incorrect.
    In option D, the subject is "Your questions". The action performed by the subject is "make". Hence this sentence is in the active voice, making option D incorrect.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Change from indirect to direct speech:
    The professor said that Mercury is the first planet in the solar system. 
    Solution
    Indirect speech is used to report what somebody has said without inverted commas. 'That' conjunction is used to make the sentence in indirect speech. 
    In the case of universal truth, tense does not change.
    Hence, option A is the correct answer. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Which of the sentence(s) below is/are in active voice:
    1. The teacher taught the students.
    2. The students learnt from the teacher.
    3. The students were taught by the teacher. 
    4. The students did not learn from the teacher.
    Solution
    A sentence is in active or passive voice depending on whether its verb is in active or passive voice. A verb is in active voice when the Subject does something or some action. A verb is in passive voice when something is done to the Subject. In other words, the Subject receives the action expressed by the verb. In passive voice, the doer of the action may appear in the phrase, "by .....". This could be one easy way of identifying a sentence in passive voice. However, in some cases, this phrase is omitted.

    Let us look at the Subject in each sentence. In 1), "the teacher" is the Subject who performs the action "taught". In 2), "the students" is the Subject who perform the action of "learnt". In 4), "the students" is the Subject, who perform the action "did not learn". In all these three sentences, the Subject performs an action. Hence all these are in Active voice. 
    In sentence 3), "the students" is the Subject. They "were taught" by the teacher. i.e an action is performed on the Subject. Note the use of the phrase "by the teacher" which helps conclude that the teacher is the doer of the action. Hence, this sentence is in passive voice. 
     
    Given the above, options A, B and D are incorrect. And option C is the correct answer.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct passive verb form:
    Plants _________ by the gardener every evening.
    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) Are Watered as the passive verb should be in its third form.

    Options A, B and D are not correct as the given sentence is not in the present continuous form and 'plants' are plural respectively.

    Plants are watered by the gardener every evening.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct passive form:
    Sugar and tea _________ by the grocer.
    Solution
    NOTE: The word 'by' indicates that the sentence is in the passive voice. Also, the subject 'the grocer' has become the object in the given sentence.
    We use 'is/am/are' with the past participle form of the verb, to explain the sentence in the simple present tense in the passive voice.
    Option A - As the subject is plural 'sugar and tea', we can't use 'is'. According to the subject-verb agreement, we need the verb in the plural form if the subject is plural. 'Sold' is the past participle form of the verb and can be used with 'are' and not 'is'. Thus option A is incorrect. 
    Option C - According to the subject-verb agreement, we need the verb in the plural form if the subject is plural. The given sentence has a plural subject and hence we can't use 'is' here, as it is the singular form of the verb. Also, in the passive voice, we need the verb in the past participle form of the sentence/action in the simple present tense. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - The given sentence has a plural subject, and hence we can use 'are' here. 'Sell' is the verb in its original form and we need the verb in the past participle form. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option B - According to the subject-verb agreement, 'are' can be used with the plural subject here and 'sold' is in the past participle form of the verb 'sell'. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
    'Sugar and tea are sold by the grocer.'
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct passive form from the options given below:
    Madame and Monsieur Curie ___________ the Nobel Prize for Physics in $$1903$$.
    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) Were given.

    Option C) is correct as the main verb is used in its third form with the correct helping verb.

    Options A, B, and D are not correct as the sentence is in the past tense, the second form of the main verb cannot be used in a passive voice sentence, and 'Madame and Monsieur Curie' represents a plural noun respectively.

    Madame and Monsieur Curie were given the Nobel Prize for Physics in 19031903.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct passive form from the options given below:
    A prayer _________ by the choir in the church next week.
    Solution
    A sentence is said to be in the active voice when the subject performs the action.
    A sentence is said to be in the passive voice when the subject receives the action.
    Option A: 'Was sung' refers to a past action, something that has already happened. But, the action 'to be sung' is yet to happen, in the future "next week". Hence option A is incorrect.
    Option B: 'Will sing' is an active verb phrase, it indicates that the subject is performing the action. But, the given sentence is passive, hence B is incorrect.
    Options D and C: 'Shall' in the second or third person, refers to a threat or command. It isn't very suitable here.
    In comparison, 'will' is a more suitable verb, as in the third person narrative (it) 'a prayer', 'will' indicates a future action.
    Hence option C is correct and D is incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    Tennis ________ by the players of our school at this time.
    Solution

    An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
