Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Change the following sentence into passive voice:
    The students were solving the sums.
    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 given sentence is in the active voice.

    The correct answer is C) The sums were being solved by the students.

    Option C) is correct as the subject of the given sentence comes in the place of the object and vice versa. Also, the main verb is used in the third form.

    Options A, B, and D are not correct 'solving' should be transferred to 'being solved', the given sentence is not in the simple past tense, and 'been' cannot be used in the transformed sentence.


     

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Who is playing football?
    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 given sentence is in the active voice.

    The correct answer is C)By whom is football being played?

    Option C) is correct as the subject of the given sentence comes in the place of the object and vice versa. Also, the main verb is used in the third form.

    Options A, B, and D are not correct as the structure of the question is wrong, 'being' is not used, and 'been' cannot be used respectively.


  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Change the following sentence into passive voice.
    She has sent an e-mail to Rashi.
    Solution
    The ground rules to change active voice in passive voice are:
    • The places of subject and object are interchanged.
    • 3rd form of the verb (past participle) is always used as the main verb in the passive voice. This applies to all tenses.
    • The word 'by' is generally used before the subject.
    The given sentence is an example of the present perfect tense. The formula to convert a present perfect sentence in passive voice is Subject +has/have + been + past participle + by object. 
    Thus, the passive voice for the given sentence can be options A and B
    Hence, options A and B are the correct answers according to the rules.  
  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    They are going to build a new airport.
    Solution

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

    The given sentence is in the active voice.

    The correct answer is D)A new airport is going to be built.

    Option D) is correct as the subject of the given sentence comes in the place of the object and vice versa. Also, the main verb is used in the third form.

    Options A, B, and C are not correct as the given sentence is not in the future tense, 'be' is missed, and 'bein' cannot be used respectively.


     

     

     

     

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the indirect speech of the given sentence.
    Bond said, "I have caught the thief just now."
    Solution
    Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words. 
    In the case of the present perfect tense, reported speech is formed by using the past perfect tense. Inverted commas are removed and 'that' is used as a conjunction. 'Now' is turned to 'then'. 
    The sentence would become: Bond said that he had caught the thief just then.
    Thus, option A is the correct answer according to the rules. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Which of the sentences below are in passive voice?
    1. The robber was beaten up by the police.
    2. The police beat up the robber.
    3. The robber escaped from the police.
    4. The robber was caught by the police.
    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 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 robber" is the Subject who was "beaten up" i.e an action was performed on him. 
    In 4), "The robber" is the Subject who "was caught". i.e. an action was performed on him. 
    Note that in both these sentences, the phrase "by the police" is used. This tells us that the police is the doer of the action. Hence, both 1) and 4) are in passive voice.
     In 2), "The police" is the Subject, who performs the action "beat up". 
    In 3), "The robber" is the Subject, who performs the action "escaped". 
    Hence 2) and 3) are in Active voice. 
     
    Given the above, options A, B and D are incorrect. And option C is the correct answer.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    From the below-mentioned 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 some action. A verb is in passive voice when something is done to the subject. 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.
    The correct option is C. "The painting" is the subject. It was "done" by an old artist i.e. an action was performed on the subject. Note the phrase, "by an old artist" indicating "the old artist" as the doer of the action. Hence this sentence is in the passive voice. 
    In option A, "He" is the subject. He (the subject) "loves" to paint i.e the subject performs the action. Hence, this sentence is in the active voice.  Option A is incorrect.
    In option B, "She" is the subject. She "will write" a letter. i.e She (the subject) performs an action in the future tense. Hence, this sentence is in the active voice. Option B is incorrect. 
    In option D, "the boy" is the subject. He (the subject) "smiled" at the old man. i.e he performed an action in the past tense. Hence, this sentence is in the active voice. Option D is incorrect.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct passive form from the options given.
    An apple ___________ by him daily in order to keep the doctor away.
    Solution
    NOTE: Simple present tense is used to explain habits, facts, universal truth or schedule. Here, the sentence tells us about the habit of a person in the passive voice. In the passive voice, 'is/am/are' is often accompanied by the past participle form of the verb to form the sentence in the simple present tense.
    Option B - In order to form the sentence in the passive voice, the option should be - 'should be eaten'. Hence, option B is incorrect. 
    Option C - We use the past participle form instead of the past form of the verb in the passive voice. Hence, 'eaten' should be used instead of 'ate'. Thus option C is incorrect. 
    Option D - We use the original form of the verb in the active voice. As the given sentence is in the passive voice, we can't use 'eat' here. Hence, option D is incorrect. 
    Option A - As explained above, we must use 'is' as the subject is singular and the verb should be in the past participle form 'eaten'. Hence, 'is eaten' can be used to form the simple present tense in the passive voice. Thus option A is the correct answer. 
    'An apple is eaten by him daily in order to keep the doctor away.'
  • Question 9
    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 10
    1 / -0
    From the below options, identify the sentence which is in the 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 C, the subject is "He". He "was made" a leader i.e., the action was performed on the subject. Hence this sentence is in passive voice and this option is correct.
    In option A, the subject is "Who" and the action performed by the subject is "did". It is in the active voice, and hence, this option is incorrect. 
    In option B, the subject is "I" and the action performed by the subject is "have taken". It is in active voice and, therefore, this option is incorrect. 
    In option D, the subject is "Robots" and the action word performed by the subject is "built". It is in the active voice, making option D incorrect as well.
