Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Let the veil be lifted!
About the given sentence:
Type of sentence: Imperative
Tense: Simple Present (Imperative Mood)
Voice: Active voice
Subject (understood): You
Verb: Lift
Object: The veil
Structure for conversion:
Active: (You) + base verb + object
Passive: Let + object + be + past participle (V3)
What is wrong:
The imperative sentence “Lift the veil!” gives a direct command. In passive voice, we do not use helping verbs like had been or have been.
Correction:
Use the correct imperative passive structure: Let + object + be + V3
So, Lift the veil! becomes Let the veil be lifted!
Converted sentence: Let the veil be lifted!
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
