Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 1

Which one best expresses the given sentence in Passive/Active Voice?

Has someone made all the necessary arrangements?

Detailed Solution for Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 1

This sentence is in the active voice, with the subject "someone" performing the action of making the necessary arrangements. To convert it to the passive voice, the object of the verb (the necessary arrangements) becomes the subject of the sentence, and the verb is changed to its past participle form (been made). The preposition "by" is added to indicate who performed the action.

Option (c) correctly expresses the sentence in the passive voice. Option (a) and (b) are incorrect because they use incorrect word order, and option (d) is in the active voice, with the subject "one" performing the action.

Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 2

Choose the correct passive voice for the given active voice sentence:

Active Voice: She is writing a letter.

Detailed Solution for Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 2

Since the active voice uses the present continuous tense, we need to use the same tense in the passive voice ('is being written').

Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 3

Choose the correct active voice for the given passive voice sentence:

Passive Voice: The plants were watered by John.

Detailed Solution for Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 3

The passive voice uses the past simple tense, so we need to use the same tense in the active voice ('watered').

Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 4

Which one best expresses the given sentence in Passive/Active Voice?

He was obliged to resign.

Detailed Solution for Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 4

The original sentence is already in the passive voice, with "he" as the subject receiving the action of being obliged to resign. To convert it to the active voice, we would need to identify who or what caused him to resign, but none of the options do so.

Option 1 suggests that someone else made him resign, which is a different meaning than the original sentence. Option 2 suggests that resigning was his own obligation, which also changes the meaning. Option 4 suggests that the act of resigning itself obliged him, which is nonsensical.

Option 3 correctly conveys the meaning of the original sentence, explaining that circumstances led to his resignation.

Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 5

A sentence has been given in Active/Passive Voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active Voice.

By that time, Vikash Ranjan was elected Mayor of the city by the people for three times.

Detailed Solution for Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 5
  • The 'voice' of a verb tells us whether the subject of the sentence performs or receives the action.
  •  The given sentence is in the passive voice.
  • While changing a sentence from passive voice to active voice, the object and subject are interchanged with each other, i.e. object of the passive sentence becomes the subject of the active sentence and vice versa. Their cases also change accordingly.
  • Here, 'Vikash Ranjan' is the subject, 'was elected' and 'the people' is the object.
  • The given sentence follows the following sentence format and will convert as it has been given next:
  • Passive voice: Subject + was/were (*depending on the subject) + past participle (+ by object).
  • Active voice: Subject (*object of the passive sentence) + simple past verb + object (*subject of the passive sentence).
  • For example, 'The vase was broken by his son.' ⇒ 'His son broke the vase.'
  • So, the given sentence in active is as follows: 'By that time, the people elected Vikash Ranjan Mayor of the city for three times.'

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Select the correct passive voice for the given active voice sentence:

Active Voice: The chef prepared the meal.

Detailed Solution for Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 6

Test: Type I (Active Voice and Passive Voice) - Question 7

Choose the correct active voice for the given passive voice sentence:
