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 have a feeling that you are keeping a secret.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. I have a feeling that a secret is being kept by you.

Active voice- Subject + Is/Am/Are + V4 + Object

Passive voice- Subject + Is/Am/Are + being + V3 + by agent

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

As the chosen option follows the above structure it will be correct.
