SSC CGL Tier II - English - 16th Nov 2020 • English • Q120

Select the correct active form of the given sentence.

A new song is being composed by her

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. She is composing a new song.

Passive form: A new song is being composed by her.

  • In the given sentence, 'is + being + V3 i.e. composed' has been used, which implies that the active form should contain 'is/are/am + V1 + ing i.e. composing'. (Rule fro changing present continous 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 word 'by' when converting into active form.
  • Lastly, change the pronoun from her to she when converting into active form.

The active form will be: She is composing a new song.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. She is composing a new song.
