"The truth must be told by you."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Change from passive to active voice:
Identify the Subject and Object: In the passive sentence, "The truth" is the object receiving the action, and "by you" identifies the subject (the doer). In the active voice, the subject "You" moves to the front.
Convert the Verb Phrase: The passive construction "must be told" consists of the modal verb must + be + past participle (told). To make it active, remove "be" and change the past participle back to its base form: "must tell."
Final Structure: The active sentence follows the structure: Subject (You) + Modal (must) + Base Verb (tell) + Object (the truth).
Active voice: You must tell the truth.
