SSC CPO 2021 PYQ — Question 73

SSC CPO Tier II - 8 Nov 2021 • English • Q73

Select the correct active form of the given sentence.

You are requested to give me change for ₹2000.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Please give me change for ₹2000.

  • In passive voice, the focus is on the action being done to the subject, rather than who is performing the action. Here, the passive sentence implies that someone is requesting you to give change, but it doesn’t specify who is making the request.

  • To switch to active voice, focus on the action and the person directly making the request. In this case, you are essentially being asked to act. The active form should directly state the request. By using "Please give me change for ₹2000," the request becomes clear and direct, with no passive structure involved.

  • This active form makes the sentence easy to understand, effectively turning the indirect request into a direct one.
