Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
He will give a lecture on personality development.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. A lecture on personality development will be given by him.
- In active voice, the structure is:- Subject: "He" + Verb: "will give" + Object: "a lecture on personality development"
- In passive voice, the object of the action (in this case, "a lecture on personality development") becomes the subject of the sentence.
- The verb "will give" is in the future tense. In passive voice, we use "will be" (the future form of "be") followed by the past participle of the verb "give," which is "given."
- So, "will give" becomes "will be given."
- In the passive voice, we typically include the agent (the doer of the action) using "by." In this case, it is "him," so we add "by him" at the end.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- "A lecture on personality development will be given by him."
