SSC CGL 2025 PYQ — Question 92

Correct Answer

The firm was urged by legal advisors to amend the draft immediately.

Explanation

To convert an active voice sentence to passive, the object of the active sentence (the firm) becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb 'urged' (simple past) changes to 'was urged' (past passive). The original subject (legal advisors) becomes the agent, introduced by 'by.'

In the provided options, the choice 'The firm was urged by legal advisors to amend the draft immediately' correctly follows this structure. Note that while option 2 was marked as the answer in your prompt, it is grammatically incorrect for this specific sentence structure because 'the draft' was not the entity being urged; the 'firm' was the target of the urging.
