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 keep your secret.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is: Your secret will be kept by me.
Reason:
-
The original sentence is Active voice, Future Simple tense: I will keep your secret.
-
In Passive voice, the object becomes the subject, and the verb form changes to will be + past participle.
Incorrect options explained:
-
Keeping of your secret will be done by me. → Grammatically awkward and unnecessarily wordy.
-
I will be keeping the secret of you. → Incorrect preposition (“of you”); also stays in Active voice.
-
Your secret I will be keeping. → Still Active voice; tense/form not properly converted.
Final sentence (Passive voice):
Your secret will be kept by me.
