Question

Answer

To change Imperative Sentence from Active to passive voice “Let be “ is used if the sentence remain imperative ; otherwise “should be “ is used. So, both “Let the command be given” and “the command should be given” are the correct answer.

Answer

The verb in the first in the active voice should be the verb in the last in the passive voice. While in the active voice, we focus on the subject, while in the passive voice, we focus on the object. Here, the subject is 'you' and the object is 'the command'. To focus on the object, we should interchange the positions of 'the command' and 'give', or 'be given'. We need to make the object the subject and use the appropriate form of 'to be'. And then, we will end up with the option c, Let the command be given.

Answer

Explanation:

The given sentence is: 'Give the command.'

Active Voice:
In the active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb. In this case, the subject is 'you' (implied) and the verb is 'give.'

Passive Voice:
In the passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. To change the sentence to the passive voice, we need to make the object of the active sentence (the command) the subject of the passive sentence and use the verb 'be' along with the past participle of the main verb ('given').

Now, let's look at the options given:

- Option a) 'The command will be given':
This option correctly uses the passive voice construction by making 'the command' the subject and using the verb 'will be' along with the past participle 'given.'

- Option b) 'The command is being given':
This option is also in the passive voice, but it indicates that the action is currently happening or in progress. It uses the present continuous tense 'is being' along with the past participle 'given.'

- Option c) 'Let the command be given':
This option is in the passive voice and uses the imperative form 'let' to suggest or request that the command be given. It is a common construction used for giving instructions or making requests.

- Option d) 'The command must be given':
This option is also in the passive voice and uses the modal verb 'must' to indicate necessity or obligation. It suggests that it is necessary for the command to be given.

Conclusion:
The correct answer is option c) 'Let the command be given' because it is a passive construction using the imperative form. However, options a), b), and d) are also grammatically correct passive voice constructions.
