SSC CPO Tier II - 8 Jan 2024 • English • Q97

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

One can achieve nothing without hard work.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Nothing can be achieved without hard work.

  • In the passive voice, the sentence "One can achieve nothing without hard work" becomes "Nothing can be achieved without hard work".
  • This transformation focuses on the object "nothing" as the subject of the sentence, shifting the emphasis from the doer (one) to the action (achieving).
  • The verb "achieve" is changed to "be achieved" to fit the passive construction, and the modal "can" remains to convey the possibility.
  • This structure effectively highlights the importance of hard work in achieving results.
