Choose the correct passive voice transformation of the sentence:
The CEO is expected to have brought about significant changes in the department by the end of the year.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The original sentence, 'The CEO is expected to have brought about significant changes in the department by the end of the year,' is already in the passive voice regarding the verb 'expected.' However, the main verb phrase 'to have brought about' needs to be converted into its passive form to fully transform the clause.
To form the passive infinitive, 'to have brought' becomes 'to have been brought'.
The subject of the action ('the CEO') moves to the end of the phrase, and the object of the action ('significant changes') becomes the subject of the sentence.
