Don't park your car here.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 'Let your car not be parked here.'
In active voice, the sentence structure is:- Subject: 'You' (implied, since it's an imperative) + Verb (action): 'park' (imperative form) + Object: 'your car' + Adverbial phrase: 'here' (indicating location)
To convert into passive voice:
The correct structure is: Imperative + Let + Subject + Not + Be + Past Participle (Verb) + Adverbial Phrase
To form the passive, we introduce the causative verb 'Let,' which can make a command or request.
We change the verb 'park' to its passive form ('be parked'). The focus of the sentence shifts to the action happening to 'your car' rather than the person doing the parking.
The negative form 'Don't' becomes 'not' in the passive construction.
'Here' stays in the same position, indicating where the action should not occur.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- 'Let your car not be parked here.'
