His teachers have given him some books.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 12

The correct answer is (d) Some books have been given to him by his teachers.
The given sentence is in active voice, where the subject 'His teachers' is performing the action of giving books to the object 'him'. To change this sentence into passive voice, we need to make the object 'him' the subject of the sentence and the subject 'His teachers' the object. The verb 'have given' needs to be changed into the passive form 'have been given', and the preposition 'to' needs to be retained to show the receiver of the action. Thus, the correct passive form is: Some books have been given to him by his teachers.

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 13

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence. [SSC Steno-2018]
Sahil said to Rohit, “I don’t have the car key”

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 13

In indirect or reported speech, the tense of the reporting verb changes according to the tense of the reporting speech. Here, "said" is in the past tense, so we need to change the tense of the sentence. "Don't have" is in the present tense, so we need to change it to the past tense, which is "did not have". So the correct indirect form is "Sahil told Rohit that he did not have the car key." Option (a) correctly represents this transformation, while options (b), (c), and (d) have errors in tense agreement.

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 14

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence. [SSC Steno-2018]
My friend writes a letter to his father.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 14

To change this sentence into passive voice, we need to make the object of the sentence the subject and the subject of the sentence the object. In this sentence, the subject is "My friend" and the object is "a letter." Therefore, we need to make "a letter" the subject of the sentence and "my friend" the object.
The verb "writes" needs to be changed to "is written" to make it passive.
The correct passive sentence is: "A letter is written by my friend to his father."

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 15

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence. [SSC Steno-2018]
The teacher says, “The Sun rises in the East.”

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 15

Here, ' says' will not change into 'said' as the sentence talks about a universal truth. This is a conditional sentence.

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 16

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence. [SSC Steno-2018]
The students said to the teacher. “We have completed our work.”

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 16

The given sentence is in direct speech form. To convert it into indirect speech form, we need to change the verb tense of the reporting verb and the reported speech.
In the reported speech, "have completed" needs to be changed to "had completed" to reflect that the action is in the past with respect to the time of reporting. Also, "the students said to the teacher" needs to be changed to "the students told the teacher" to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Hence, the correct indirect form of the sentence is "The students told the teacher that they had completed the work."

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 17

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence. [SSC Steno-2018]
My brother won the Best Actor award in the inter-coliege drama competition.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 17

The correct passive form of the sentence is "The Best Actor award was won by my brother in the inter-college drama competition." The subject "My brother" becomes the object in the passive voice sentence, while the object "The Best Actor award" becomes the subject. The past participle "won" is used in the passive voice sentence.

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 18

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence. [SSC Steno-2018]
The doctor is treating the patient.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 18

The given sentence is in active voice, with the subject "doctor" performing the action of "treating" the object "patient". To convert it into passive voice, we need to make the object "patient" the subject of the sentence and the subject "doctor" the object.

The correct passive structure is "Object + is/am/are + being + past participle of the verb + by + subject".

Applying this rule, we get the passive form "The patient is being treated by the doctor". The other options are not grammatically correct or do not follow the passive voice structure.

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 19

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence. [SSC Steno-2018]
The children had plucked all the flowers.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 19

The given sentence is in the active voice. To convert it into the passive voice, we need to make the object (all the flowers) the subject of the sentence and make the subject (the children) the object of the preposition "by". Also, since the sentence is in the past perfect tense, we need to use the past participle form of the verb "pluck" and the auxiliary verb "had been" in the passive voice.

Therefore, the correct passive form is "All the flowers had been plucked by the children."

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 20

Select the correct active form of the given sentence. [SSC CGL-2018]
Rudra was laughed at by all his friends when he wore his socks inside-out.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Speeches/Voices - 1 - Question 20

To change the sen tence into Active voice, the Object (all his friends) will become subject and subject (Rudra) will be object. We also use helping verb of past simple tense 'was' with V3 form of the main verb. Also, the preposition 'at' must be retained with the verb. Rule: Subject + (was /were) + V3 + Other Agents.
