SSC CHSL 2025 PYQ — Question 19

SSC CHSL - 15 Nov 2025 - Shift 3 • English • Q19

Change the following sentence into the Active form.

The report could not be accessed without the proper security clearance.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The original sentence, 'The report could not be accessed without the proper security clearance,' is in the passive voice. To change it to the active voice, the subject performing the action (who couldn't access the report) needs to be introduced.

Option (a) introduces the subject 'They' and correctly changes the verb phrase to the active form 'could not access,' while maintaining the original meaning and tense.
