SSC Stenographer - 08 Aug 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q140

Select the correct active form.

"Has the file been uploaded by you?"

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct active form of the sentence "Has the file been uploaded by you?" is "Have you uploaded the file?"

Passive to active voice transformation:

Identify the Tense: The original passive sentence uses "has... been + past participle (uploaded)," which indicates the Present Perfect Tense.

Identify Subject and Object:

Passive Subject: "The file"

Passive Agent (becomes Active Subject): "you"

Adjust the Auxiliary Verb: In the active voice, the auxiliary verb must agree with the new subject "you." While "the file" takes "has," the subject "you" takes "have."

Sentence Structure: For a question in the Present Perfect active voice, the formula is: Have/Has + subject + past participle + object?

Active voice: Have you uploaded the file?
