SSC CHSL 2025 PYQ — Question 13

SSC CHSL - 25 Nov 2025 - Shift 3 • English • Q13

Change the following sentence into the Active form.
The experiment had been completed by the scientists.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The original sentence, "The experiment had been completed by the scientists," is in the passive voice and uses the past perfect tense (had been completed). To change it to the active voice, the subject (the scientists) must perform the action (completed) directly, while maintaining the same tense. The active voice past perfect tense structure is "had + past participle". Therefore, "The scientists had completed the experiment" is the correct active form.
