SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 136

SSC Stenographer - 06 Aug 2025 - Shift 3 • English • Q136

Select the correct active form.

"A decision will have been taken by the committee." 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The sentence "The committee will have taken a decision" is the correct active form for the following reasons:

Tense Matching: The original passive sentence, "A decision will have been taken...", uses the Future Perfect tense. In the active voice, the Future Perfect structure is "Subject + will have + past participle."

Subject-Object Swap: In the active voice, "the committee" (the performer of the action) becomes the subject, and "a decision" becomes the direct object.

Verb Transformation: The passive construction "will have been taken" transforms into the active construction "will have taken" to maintain the same timeframe and meaning.
