SSC Stenographer - 12 Sep 2026 - Shift 2 • English • Q120

Choose the option that is the most appropriate conversion of the following sentence into Active Voice.
It is said that the company will launch a new product next month.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer: People say the company will launch a new product next month.
Explanation
• The given sentence uses an impersonal passive structure in the Simple Present Tense: It is said that...
• When converting this structure into the active voice, introduce an indefinite subject such as People or They, followed by the simple present verb form: People say...
• The subordinate clause describing the future event (the company will launch a new product next month) retains its original tense and meaning.
Quick Tip: It is said that + clause (Passive) changes to People/They say that + clause (Active).
