Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Select the correct Passive form of the given sentence.

 

Please give me one hundred rupees.

Options:

You are requested to give me one hundred rupees.


Give me one hundred rupees.

One should give me one hundred rupees.

You ought to give me one hundred rupees.

Correct Answer:

You are requested to give me one hundred rupees.


Explanation:

The correct passive form of the given sentence is:

You are requested to give me one hundred rupees.

 Let's break down the options:

  1. You are requested to give me one hundred rupees. (Correct) This sentence correctly uses the passive voice and conveys the same meaning as the original sentence. It uses the correct form "are requested to give."

  2. Give me one hundred rupees. (Incorrect) This option retains the original imperative form, and it is not in the passive voice. The correct passive form should use "You are requested to give," as shown in option 1.

  3. One should give me one hundred rupees. (Incorrect) This option changes the subject and changes the meaning slightly. It becomes a general statement about what someone should do, rather than a specific request to the person being addressed. The correct passive form should maintain the original subject "you," as shown in option 1.

  4. You ought to give me one hundred rupees. (Incorrect) This option is in the active voice and uses "ought to," which is another way of expressing obligation or advisability. It is not in the passive voice, and it is not the correct passive form of the original sentence. The correct passive form should use "You are requested to give," as shown in option 1.
