SSC CGL Tier II - English - 16th Nov 2020 • English • Q125

Select the correct active form of the given sentence.

You might be promoted this year

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. They might promote you this year.

Passive form: You might be promoted this year.

  • In the given sentence, 'past participle i.e. promoted' has been used, which implies that the active form should contain 'base form i.e. promote'. (Rules for Simple Present tense.)
  • Now, simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
  • Remove the auxilliary verb 'be' when converting into active form.

The active form will be: They might promote you this year.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. They might promote you this year.
