Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence by changing its voice (Passive/Active voice):

Who gave you this letter?

A
This letter is given to you by whom?

B
This letter had given to you by whom?

C
Was this letter given to you?

D
By whom was this letter given to you?

Solution

A sentence is in the active voice when the subject performs an action.
A sentence is said to be in the passive voice when the subject receives an action.
The given sentence is in active form and will be changed to passive. While changing an interrogative sentence to passive voice, the subject 'who' changes to an object 'by whom'.

The passive form of 'gave' in the simple past tense is 'was/were given'.
This can be seen in option D 'was this letter given', hence it's the right answer.

Option A: This option expresses the present tense 'is', whereas the sentence is in the past 'gave'.
Option B: Similarly, 'had given' is in the past perfect tense. Also, the verb form 'had given' is in the active voice.
Option C: This option has changed in meaning. It does not ask 'who' gave the letter, but asks if the letter was given in the first place.

Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

The sentence has been given in the Active/Passive voice. From the given options, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in the Passive/Active voice.

They had cleared the dues. [Intermediate]

A
The dues had been cleared by them.

B
The dues had cleared by them.

C
The dues are being cleared.

D
The dues is cleared.

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)The dues had been cleared by them.
Option A is correct as the subject of the given sentence (They) comes in place of the object (the dues) and vice versa, the same tense is used (past perfect tense) using the appropriate helping verb (had) with 'been' and the past participle of the main verb (clear).
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the option that correctly transforms the given sentence into reported speech:
He said to his father, "Please increase my pocket money."

A
He told his father, please increase the pocket money.

B
He pleaded his father to please increase my pocket money.

C
He requested his father to increase his pocket money

D
He asked his father to increased his pocket money.

Solution

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).
In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.
In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.
Option C is correct as the appropriate introductory verb 'requested' is used and the given direct speech is in the simple present tense.
Options A, B, and D are wrong as 'told', 'pleaded', and 'asked' cannot be used respectively.
The correct answer is C)He requested his father to increase his pocket money
Question 4
1 / -0

The sentence has been given in the Active/Passive voice. From the given options, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in the Passive/Active voice.

I am solving the questions.

A
The questions are being solved by me.

B
The questions have been solved by me.

C
The questions are to be solved by me.

D
The question are solved by me.

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)The questions are being solved by me.
Option A is correct as the subject of the given sentence (I) comes in the place of the object (the questions) , the same tense is used (present continuous tense) , and the appropriate helping verb (are-'questions' is plural) with 'being' and the past participle of the main verb (solve).
Question 5
1 / -0

The sentence has been given in the Active/Passive voice. From the given options, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in the Passive/Active voice.

The professor teaches students.

A
Students are being taught by the professor.

B
Students are taught by the professor.

C
The professor is being taught by students.

D
Students being taught by the professor.

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) Students are taught by the professor.
Option B is correct as the subject of the given sentence ( the professor) comes in the place of the object (students) and vice versa and the transformed sentence is also in the simple present tense and is transformed using the past participle form of the main verb with the helping verb (are-as 'students' is plural').
Options A, B, and D are wrong as the given sentence is not in the present continuous tense, the subject of the given sentence is not used in the place of the object, and the helping verb 'are' is missing respectively.
Question 6
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence by changing its voice (Passive/Active voice):

We made him leader.

A
He was made leader by us.

B
He was maded leader.

C
He made leader by us.

D
He was made leader.

Solution

A sentence is in the active voice when the subject performs an action.
A sentence is said to be in the passive voice when the subject receives an action.
The given sentence is in the active voice. If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.
So,
'Subject (we) + verb (made) + object (him) + object complement (leader)' changes to:
'New subject (He) + verb (was made) + object complement (leader) by + new object (us)'
The passive form of 'made' in the simple past tense is 'was/were made', the subject pronoun 'we' becomes the object pronoun 'us' and object pronoun 'him' becomes the subject pronoun 'he'.
This can be seen in option A, hence it's the right answer.

Option B: The verb form 'maded' does not exist.
Option C: The verb form 'made' is in active voice, without the helping verb 'was'. But, the form has to change while changing the voice.
Option D: The object 'by us' is missing here, and it changes the meaning of the sentence, by eliminating the object.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

The sentence has been given in the Active/Passive voice. From the given options, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in the Passive/Active voice.

Is he answering the question?

A
The question is answered by him.

B
The question is being answered by him.

C
Is the question being answered by him?

D
Is the question being answering by him?

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)Is the question being answered by him?
Option C is correct as the subject of the given sentence ( he) comes in the place of the object (the question) and vice versa.
Also, as the given sentence is an interrogative sentence, the helping verb comes before the subject, the transformed sentence is also in the present continuous tense and 'being' is used with the past participle form of the main verb (answer).
Options A, B, and D are wrong as the given sentence is interrogative, the helping verb 'is' comes before the subject of the transformed sentence, and verb +ing form cannot be used in the transformed sentence respectively.
Question 8
1 / -0

The sentence has been given in the Active/Passive voice. From the given options, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in the Passive/Active voice.

He was drawing a picture.

A
A picture was drawn by him.

B
A picture was being drawn by him.

C
A picture was drawing by him.

D
A picture was drew by him.

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)A picture was being drawn by him.
Option B is correct as the subject of the given sentence (He) comes in the place of the object (a picture), the transformed sentence is also in the past continuous tense and uses 'was being' with the past participle of the main verb(draw).
Options A, C, and D are wrong as the given sentence is not in the simple past tense, 'been' is not used, and the past participle form of the main verb (draw) is not used respectively.
Question 9
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence by changing its voice (Passive/Active voice):

He gave me a beautiful flower pot.

A
A beautiful flower pot was given to me by him.

B
A beautiful flower pot had given to me by him.

C
A beautiful flower pot had been giving by him.

D
I was giving him a beautiful flower pot.

Solution

A sentence is in the active voice when the subject performs an action.
A sentence is said to be in the passive voice when the subject receives an action.
The given sentence is in the active voice.
If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.
So,
'Subject (He) + verb (gave) + indirect object (me) + direct object (a beautiful flower pot)' changes to:
'New subject (A beautiful flower pot) + verb (was given) + indirect object (to me) + by + new object (him)'
The passive form of 'gave' in the simple past tense is 'was/were given'.
This can be seen in option A, hence it's the right answer.

Option B: The verb form 'had given to me' is in active form. As a result, the meaning of the sentence is incomplete, as the rest of the sentence is in passive voice.
Option D: Similarly, in this option, the verb form 'had been giving' is in the active form. It expresses the past perfect continuous tense, and does not express the simple past tense of the given sentence.
Option C: This sentence is in the active voice, expressing the past progressive tense. It has changed in meaning.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence by changing its voice (Passive/Active voice):

M.S. Dhoni has created a world record.

A
A world record has been created by M.S. Dhoni.

B
A world record has created by M.S. Dhoni.

C
A world record is created by M.S. Dhoni.

D
A world record is being created by M.S.Dhoni.

Solution

A sentence is in the active voice when the subject performs an action.
A sentence is said to be in the passive voice when the subject receives an action.
The given sentence is in the active voice. If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.
So,
'Subject (M.S. Dhoni) + verb (has created) + object (a world record)' changes to:
'New subject (a world record) + verb (has been created) + by + new object (M.S. Dhoni)'
The passive form of 'has created' in the present perfect tense is 'has been created'.
This can be seen in option A, hence it's the right answer.

Option B: The verb form 'has created' is still in active form whereas it must be changed to passive 'has been created'.
Option C: The verb 'is' is in simple present tense whereas the given sentence expresses the present perfect tense.
Option D: Similarly, the verb form 'is being created' expresses the present continuous tense and is different from the tense of the sentence.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
