Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e.Let the lamp of knowledge be lit in every heart.

Active form: Light the lamp of knowledge in every heart.

Rules for changing Active form to Passive from:

  • Simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
  • Now, the given sentence is an imperative sentence. In sentences which express request, advice and order, such phrases as, You are requested to/advised to /ordered to are used.
  • As the sentence is an imperative sentence, the structure of the sentence in passive voice will be 'Let + object + be + V3 i.e. light will be changed to lit' form.

The passive form will be: Let the lamp of knowledge be lit in every heart.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Let the lamp of knowledge be lit in every heart.
