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.

I will not allow you to ride that motorcycle.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. You will not be allowed by me to ride that motorcycle.

Active voice- Subject + will + V1 + Object

Passive voice- Subject + will be + V3 + by agent

  • An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
  • Since 'you' answers 'whom', it is the object here which should be the subject in the passive voice.
  • 'Allow' 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.
