SSC Stenographer - 06 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q139

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
"The chef will prepare the meal by noon."

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

To convert a sentence from active to passive voice in the future simple tense:

Identify the components: The subject is "The chef," the verb is "will prepare," and the object is "the meal."

Swap subject and object: "The meal" becomes the new subject.

Change the verb form: The active "will [verb]" becomes "will be [past participle]". In this case, "will prepare" changes to "will be prepared".

Add the agent: The original subject is introduced with "by" (i.e., "by the chef").

Passive voice: "The meal" + "will be prepared" + "by the chef" + "by noon."
