Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

The peon will post the letter.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The letter will be posted by the peon.

In active voice, the structure is:- Subject: The peon + Verb: will post + Object: the letter

To convert into passive voice, the subject in the active voice is interchanged to the object and the object in active voice becomes the subject in passive voice. 

  • The letter becomes the new subject of the sentence.
  • In passive voice, we use the structure: "will + be + past participle of the verb"
  • Here, the past participle of "post" is "posted." So, "will post" changes to "will be posted."
  • The phrase "by the peon" is added at the end to indicate who is performing the action.

Hence, the correct sentence is:-  "The letter will be posted by the peon."
