Test: Voices- 1 - Class 9 MCQ

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the given sentence and identify the appropriate verb form, whether it should be active or passive.
The sentence states that "The robbers _______ by the police."
To fill in the blank, we need to consider whether the robbers are the subject (performing the action) or the object (receiving the action).
Let's evaluate the options:
A: Have arrested - This is an active verb form, indicating that the robbers are performing the action. However, in this sentence, the robbers are not the subject but the object, so this option is incorrect.
B: Have been arrested - This is a passive verb form, indicating that the robbers are the object and have been acted upon by the police. It correctly conveys the intended meaning, making this option the correct answer.
C: Was arrested - This is a passive verb form as well, but it uses the singular form "was" instead of the plural "were" to match the subject "robbers." Therefore, this option is grammatically incorrect.
D: Had arrested - This is an active verb form in the past perfect tense. It does not convey the correct meaning in the given sentence, so this option is incorrect.
In conclusion, the correct answer is B: Have been arrested.

The given sentence is: "It _________ since yesterday."
To determine the correct verb form, we need to consider the tense and subject of the sentence.
The present perfect continuous tense is used to describe an action that started in the past, is still happening in the present, and is expected to continue in the future. It is formed using "has/have been" + the present participle of the verb.
Let's analyze the options given:
A. "Is raining" - This is the present continuous tense, indicating an action happening at the moment. It does not match the tense required in the sentence.
B. "Has been raining" - This is the correct answer. It is the present perfect continuous tense, which matches the tense required in the sentence.
C. "Have been raining" - This is also the present perfect continuous tense, but it uses the plural form "have" instead of the singular form "has" required for the subject "It." Therefore, this option is not correct.
D. "Was raining" - This is the past continuous tense, indicating an action that happened in the past but does not continue into the present. It does not match the tense required in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. "Has been raining."
To summarize:
- The correct verb form for the sentence "It _________ since yesterday" is "Has been raining" (option B).
- This is the present perfect continuous tense.
- The other options do not match the tense or subject of the sentence.
- The present perfect continuous tense indicates an action that started in the past, is still happening in the present, and is expected to continue in the future.

The correct answer for the given question is option B: Are asked.
Explanation:
In this sentence, we need to choose the correct verb form to complete the sentence in the passive voice. Let's analyze the given options:
A: Have asked - This is in the present perfect tense and does not fit the context of the sentence. It implies that someone has already asked the students, which is not mentioned in the sentence.
B: Are asked - This is in the present simple tense passive voice and correctly conveys the meaning that the students are the ones being asked to submit their reports.
C: Has asked - This is in the present perfect tense and does not fit the context of the sentence. It implies that someone has already asked the students, which is not mentioned in the sentence.
D: Are asking - This is in the present continuous tense and does not fit the context of the sentence. It implies an ongoing action of asking, which is not mentioned in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: Are asked.

The given sentence is in the active voice. We need to change it to the passive voice.
The teacher ________ the student for lying.
To change the sentence to passive voice, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the object of the active sentence.
- The object in the active sentence is "the student."
2. Make the object the subject of the passive sentence.
- The student
3. Use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" (is, was, has been, etc.) and the past participle of the main verb.
- The verb in the active sentence is "punished." The past participle of "punish" is "punished."
Now, let's fill in the blanks with suitable passive verb forms:
The teacher punished the student for lying.
- Active voice
The student was punished by the teacher for lying.
- Passive voice
Answer: D. Was punished

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the sentence and identify the verb form that is suitable for the given context.
The sentence states that the inmates of the juvenile home were treated by their caretakers. We need to choose the correct verb form to complete the sentence.
Options:
A) Were not being treated
This option is incorrect because it uses the passive voice and negates the action of being treated. However, the original sentence implies that the inmates were indeed treated.
B) Were not treating
This option is incorrect because it uses the active voice and implies that the inmates were not treating someone else. The sentence requires a passive verb form.
C) Have not being treated
This option is incorrect because it uses an incorrect verb form. The correct form should be "have not been treated" to indicate the present perfect tense.
D) Was not being treated
This option is correct because it uses the passive voice and indicates that the inmates were not being treated by their caretakers.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D) "Was not being treated."

To convert the given sentence from active voice to passive voice, we need to identify the subject, verb, and object in the active sentence.
Active sentence: A child could not have done this mischief.
Subject: A child
Verb: could not have done
Object: this mischief
Now, let's form the passive sentence:
Passive sentence: This mischief could not have been done by a child.
- The object "this mischief" becomes the subject in the passive voice.
- The verb "could not have been done" is changed to its passive form by adding "been" after the helping verb "could not have."
- The subject "a child" is introduced by the preposition "by" to indicate the doer of the action.
Therefore, option C: "This mischief could not have been done by a child" is the correct answer.

To change the given sentence "She makes cakes every Sunday" into passive voice, we need to focus on the subject and the verb. In this case, the subject is "She" and the verb is "makes".
The passive voice construction for this sentence is "Cakes are made by her every Sunday".
Here is a detailed explanation:
Active Voice: She makes cakes every Sunday.
Passive Voice: Cakes are made by her every Sunday.
Let's break down the options and analyze them:
Option A: Every Sunday cakes made by her.
This option is not grammatically correct as it does not follow the correct sentence structure in passive voice.
Option B: Cakes are made by her every Sunday.
This option correctly represents the given sentence in passive voice. It maintains the correct subject-verb-object order.
Option C: Cakes make her every Sunday.
This option changes the meaning of the sentence and does not represent the given sentence in passive voice.
Option D: Cakes were made by her every Sunday.
This option uses the past tense "were made" instead of the present tense "are made". Therefore, it does not accurately represent the given sentence in passive voice.
Hence, the correct answer is option B: Cakes are made by her every Sunday.

The given sentence is in the active voice: "The doctor advised the patient not to eat rice." We need to convert it into the passive voice.
To convert an active sentence to passive, we follow the structure: Object of the active sentence + verb + by + subject of the active sentence.
Let's analyze the given options:
A:

The patient was advised by the doctor not to eat rice.

This option correctly converts the sentence into the passive voice. The object of the active sentence "the patient" becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb "was advised" is in the passive form, and "by the doctor" indicates the doer of the action.
B:

The patient was advised by the doctor that he should not eat rice.

This option includes an additional clause "that he should not eat rice," which is not present in the original sentence. It is not required to convey the same meaning, so this option is incorrect.
C:

The patient was being advised by the doctor that he should not rice by the doctor.

This option has a repetition of "by the doctor" and also misses the word "eat" after "not." Therefore, it is incorrect.
D:

The patient has been advised not to eat rice by the doctor.

This option uses the present perfect tense "has been advised," which is not required. The original sentence does not indicate any time frame, so the use of the present perfect is not appropriate. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: The patient was advised by the doctor not to eat rice.

To convert the given sentence from active voice to passive voice, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the subject and object in the sentence.
- Subject: You
- Object: the wine
2. Move the object to the beginning of the sentence and add a form of the verb "to be" to the main verb.
- The wine should be opened
3. Change the verb form of the main verb to its past participle form.
- The wine should be opened (opened is the past participle form of open)
4. Include the doer of the action (optional) using the preposition "by."
- The wine should be opened by you
5. Keep the remaining part of the sentence as it is.
- The wine should be opened by you three hours before use.
Therefore, the correct option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice is:
Option D: Wine should be opened about three hours before it is used.

The given sentence "Why do you tell a lie?" is in the active voice, and we need to convert it into the passive voice.
The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action being performed rather than the person or thing performing the action. In this case, we need to focus on the lie being told rather than the person who tells it.
To convert the sentence into the passive voice, we need to rearrange the sentence and change the verb form.
Option A: Why a lie told by you?
- This option is incorrect because it is not in the correct grammatical structure of the passive voice. The verb "told" should be in the past participle form.
Option B: Why is a lie be told by you?
- This option is also incorrect because it uses the incorrect form of the verb "be". In the passive voice, the verb "be" should be followed by the past participle form of the main verb.
Option C: Why is a lie told by you?
- This option is the correct answer. It is in the passive voice and maintains the correct grammatical structure. The verb "told" is in the past participle form.
Option D: Why is a lite being told you?
- This option is incorrect because it uses the incorrect word "lite" instead of "lie". Additionally, the word order is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct option is C: "Why is a lie told by you?"
