You must sign the contract before you start working.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. The contract must be signed by you before you start working.

Active form: You must sign the contract before you start working.

Rules for changing Active form to Passive from:

  • Simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
  • Use the word “by” before the subject in the passive sentence.
  • When we convert this sentence into a passive voice, the subject "You" of the active voice becomes the object, and the object "the contract" becomes the subject.
  • The active format "V1 (sign)" should be converted into the passive format "be + past participle i.e. signed".

The passive form will be: The contract must be signed by you before you start working.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. The contract must be signed by you before you start working.
