Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct Active/Passive form of the given sentence.

The bank manager said to Rahul, “Your account will be re-activated by the end of this week.”

Options:

The bank manager told Rahul that her account would be re-activated by the end of that week.

The bank manager told Rahul that his account would be re-activated by the end of this week.

The bank manager told Rahul that his account would have been re-activated by the end of that week.

The bank manager told Rahul that his account would be re-activated by the end of that week.

Correct Answer:

The bank manager told Rahul that his account would be re-activated by the end of that week.

Explanation:

The correct active/passive form of the given sentence is The bank manager told Rahul that his account would be re-activated by the end of that week.

The sentence is in the simple future tense, which is used to describe an action that will happen in the future. The active voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the sentence before the verb and removing the word "by." In this case, the subject of the sentence is "bank manager" and the verb is "tell." So, the active form of the sentence is "The bank manager told Rahul that his account would be re-activated by the end of that week."

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The bank manager told Rahul that her account would be re-activated by the end of that week.” This is incorrect because the word "her" refers to the bank manager, but the bank manager is talking about Rahul's account.
  • The bank manager told Rahul that his account would be re-activated by the end of this week.” This is incorrect because the word "this" refers to the present week, but the bank manager is talking about a week that is in the future.
  • The bank manager told Rahul that his account would have been re-activated by the end of that week.” This is incorrect because the verb "would have" is in the past perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that happened in the past and is still relevant to the present. The sentence is about an action that will happen in the future.
