Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

Take these two pills with warm water

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. These two pills should be taken with warm water.

  • In the passive voice, the focus is on the action and the receiver of the action rather than the doer. For the imperative sentence "Take these two pills with warm water," which gives a command, the passive voice form emphasizes the action to be performed on the pills.

  • "These two pills should be taken with warm water" converts the command into a statement about what is necessary. The phrase "should be taken" indicates that the pills need to be taken with warm water, which aligns with the original imperative intent while shifting the focus to the pills and the required action.
