Choose the correct passive voice transformation of the sentence:
We are supposed to submit the final report to the department head by the end of the week.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The original sentence is 'We are supposed to submit the final report to the department head by the end of the week.'
To change an active voice sentence to a passive voice sentence, the object of the active sentence ('the final report') becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb tense and meaning must be maintained. The phrase 'are supposed to submit' indicates a present obligation.
Option A correctly transforms the structure while maintaining the present tense and meaning ('is supposed to be submitted'). The original subject ('We') is included as 'by us' at the end.
