SSC Stenographer - 08 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q182

Change the voice of the following sentence.

The satellite has been launched successfully by ISRO.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The selected sentence, "ISRO has launched the satellite successfully," is the correct active voice version of the sentence provided in the question.

Explanation:

Subject-Verb Agreement: "ISRO" is a singular collective noun, so it requires the singular auxiliary verb "has" rather than "have.

"Tense Consistency: The original sentence ("The satellite has been launched...") is in the Present Perfect Passive. To convert it to Active Voice, you must use the Present Perfect Active form: Subject + has/have + past participle (V3).

Grammar: "Launched" is the correct past participle form, and "successfully" is the correct adverb to describe how it was launched.

Original (Passive): The satellite has been launched successfully by ISRO.

Converted (Active): ISRO has launched the satellite successfully.
