Access denied.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Let the access be denied.
-
Identify the Object and Subject: Determine who is receiving the action (object) and who is performing the action (subject). In "Access denied", "Access" is the object receiving the action, and the subject (the performer) is not explicitly mentioned.
-
Use the Appropriate Form of "To Be": Insert the appropriate form of the verb "to be" to match the tense of the original sentence. For "Access denied", which is in the simple past tense, use "is" for present or "was" for past.
-
Change the Main Verb to the Past Participle: Convert the main verb into its past participle form. In this case, "deny" becomes "denied."
-
Reconstruct the Sentence: Form the passive voice by placing the object at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the form of "to be," and then the past participle of the main verb.
-
Include the Directive Form (if needed): If issuing a command or directive, use "let" followed by the passive construction.
