In the following question, a sentence has been given in Active/Passive voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active voice.
The carpenters will take a month's time to make the furniture.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. A month's time will be taken by the carpenter to make the furniture.
Active voice- Subject + will + V1 + Object
Passive voice- Subject + will be + V3 + by agent
- An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
- Since 'a month's time' answers 'what', it is the object here which should be the subject in the passive voice.
- 'Take' is the main verb which must be changed into V3 while changing into passive.
As the chosen option follows the above structure it will be correct.
