The given sentence is in the future continuous tense form so it will be converted into active voice in simple future followed by the third form of verb and subject-object will be interchanged.
So, the correct sentence is ‘’We will take one month to build this house’’.
The correct answer here will be option (d).

Options 1 and 3 are grammatically incorrect to use, and therefore, eliminated. Options 2 and 4 are grammatically correct but important point to note here is that "either is always paired with or" and "neither is always paired with nor". Hence, option 4 is correct.

The correct option is Option 1, i.e., ‘deposited into’.
The correct tense of the bracketed phrase has to be used for the sentence to make proper sense. Therefore, ‘deposit into’ has to be replaced by ‘deposited into’, making Option 1 the correct choice

The correct option is Option 2, i.e., ‘get down to’.
The sentence talks about a manager telling his subordinates that enough discussion was done and it was time to work. The phrasal verb ‘get down to’ means ‘to get serious about something’. Hence, the correct option is Option 2.

The correct phrase is 'in addition to'. The phrase is used to bring together two or more things.

The word 'purge' means 'to get rid of anything unwanted or unpleasant'. The word most similar in meaning to this is 'cleanse'. 
'Dirtying' means 'to make dirty'.
'Impure' means 'mixed with foreign matter; adulterated.'
'Apt' means 'appropriate or suitable in the circumstances.'

The word 'suffice' means 'to be enough or adequate'. Therefore, the only word similar to it, out of the given options is 'sufficient'. 

An egotist is a person who is always busy bragging about himself. Boaster is also a person who shows off a lot.
Hence, boaster is the best synonym to egotist.
Example- Boasters don't generally get along a long way in their lives.

The correct answer is Option 2, i.e. 'Retaliation'.
'Reprisal' means 'an act of retaliation'.
And, 'Retaliation​' means 'the action of returning a military attack; counter-attack'.
So, the word synonymous with 'Reprisal' is 'Retaliation'.

The given sentence is in active voice and the tense of the sentence is future perfect. A sentence in the future perfect tense is written with 'will/shall +have + past participle form of the verb' when it is in the active voice. To change it in the passive voice, it must be written as 'will/shall + have been+ past participle form of the verb'.

Given sentence is passive voice. According to the given instruction change it into active voice .

The given sentence is in past tense in the form of 'was not + V3 + by'.

To convert it into active voice Change it in the form of  'did not + V1'. 

So option c suits the best of all other options. 

When we change from active to passive voice, there should be no change in the tense of the sentence. The given sentence is in present perfect tense. Hence, on changing, it should continue to be in present perfect tense. Thus, "has been sent" is the correct form of the verb. Therefore option b is correct.

The correct answer is option number -c

The given sentence is in the active voice.
