Question of The Day07-11-2020

Choose the most appropriate option to change the voice (active / passive) form of the given sentence.

It is known by everyone that the final decision will be made by them.

Answer

Correct Answer : c ) Everyone knows that they will make the final decision.

Explanation :

The sentence is in passive structure; we need to change it to active.

Passive structure: It + is + third form (known) + by + subject (everyone) +that + object (the final decision) + helping verb (will) + be + main verb (made) + by + them

Active structure: Subject (Everyone) + change of verb accordingly (given below) + that + they + change of verb accordingly (given below)

The following rules are used:

In present simple tense, verb (it is known) will be changed as first form of verb (knows).
it is known (passive) – knows (active)
will be made (passive) – will make (active)
‘them’ (objective case) changes to ‘they’ in subjective case.

So, sentence in active voice will be, “Everyone knows that they will make the final decision.”

Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
