SSC Stenographer 2024 PYQ — Question 84

SSC Stenographer - 11/12/2024 (12:30 PM to 2:30 PM) • English • Q84

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
When will you play the musical instrument in the event?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. When will the music instrument be played by you in the event?

The original sentence is in active voice and future tense: “When will you play the musical instrument in the event?”

To convert into passive voice, the object “the musical instrument” becomes the subject.

The verb changes to “will be played” to keep future tense passive form.

The agent (you) is included with “by you.”

Option 2 correctly follows these rules.

Option 1 uses past tense “was played,” which is incorrect for the original future tense sentence.

Option 3 changes the modal verb “will” to “should,” changing meaning.

Option 4 omits “by you,” which is acceptable but less precise.
