Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer: The tasks may be accomplished by Sooraj with his hands down.
Explanation
• The given sentence is in the active voice containing the modal verb may: Subject + modal verb (may) + base verb (V1) + Object.
• To convert a sentence with a modal auxiliary into passive voice, follow the structure: Object + modal verb + be + past participle (V3) + by + Subject.
• Here, the tasks becomes the subject, followed by may be accomplished, and by Sooraj acts as the agent.
• The modal verb does not change its tense (i.e., 'may' does not change to 'might').
