His fine voice has never heard in this hall again
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e will never be heard
- In the sentence "His fine voice has never heard in this hall again," the verb phrase "has never heard" is incorrect because it doesn't fit the context of describing a future or ongoing state.
- To correct this:
-
The sentence should convey that the fine voice will not be heard again in the future. Therefore, the verb phrase needs to be in the future passive form.
-
Substitute "has never heard" with "will never be heard": This change correctly uses the future passive construction, indicating that the fine voice will not be heard again in the hall.
So, the correct sentence is: His fine voice will never be heard in this hall again.
