MCQ: Voice - 2 - SSC CGL MCQ

The passive voice of imperative sentences which suggest order, suggestion or request can be made in two ways:

Active: Verb + object

Passive:

Let + object + be + past participle
You are requested/ ordered/ suggested + to + verb (Ist form) + object
Going by first way of passive voice, the passive voice of the given sentence would be: Let the door be shut.

Basic rules to be followed for Active/Passive conversions are:

The object of the active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb.
The finite form of the verb is changed (to be+ past participle).
The subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped).
Preposition "by" is used before object.
The given sentence is in active voice. It is simple form of present tense.

The structures for active/passive voices are:

Active: Subject + verb ("s" or "es" with singular noun) + object…

Passive: Object + Is/are/am + verb (IIIrd form) + by + subject…

The given sentence is in active form of simple past tense. The structures for active/passive voices are:

Active: Subject + verb (IInd form) + object...

Passive: Object + was/were + verb (IIIrd form) + by + subject...

The question statement is in simple past tense, so the converted statement too should be in the same.

This eliminates options (b) & (c).

Out of options (a) and (d), the latter has ambiguities in the meaning.

So, the correct response is option (a).
