Select the correct Active/Passive form of the given sentence.
Let this matter be expedited.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct Active/Passive form of the given sentence is:
☀ Expedite this matter.
Explanation:
The original sentence is already in the active voice and is an imperative sentence: "Let this matter be expedited."
The correct option maintains the active voice and retains the imperative form: "Expedite this matter."
Explanation for other options:
☀ We can expedite this matter. This option changes the subject of the sentence to "We" and adds the modal verb "can," which suggests a possibility or capability rather than an imperative command.
☀ Ask him to expedite this matter. This option changes the structure to a direct request rather than an imperative command. While it conveys a similar meaning, it is not the same as the original sentence.
☀ You should expedite this matter. This option changes the subject to "You" and adds the modal verb "should," which again suggests a recommendation or advice rather than a direct imperative command.
