SSC Stenographer - 07 Aug 2025 - Shift 3 • English • Q154

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

"The director should announce the results today.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Transformation from active to passive voice:

Active Structure: Subject (The director) + Modal (should) + Main Verb (announce) + Object (the results).

Passive Conversion Rule: To convert a sentence with a modal verb into the passive voice, the formula is: Object + Modal + be + Past Participle (V3) of the verb.

Application:

The object "the results" becomes the new subject.

The modal "should" is followed by "be".

The verb "announce" changes to its past participle form, "announced".

The time adverb "today" remains at the end.

Passive voice: The results should be announced today.
