Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

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

Let this matter be expedited.

Options:

We can expedite this matter.

Ask him to expedite this matter.

Expedite this matter.

You should expedite this matter.

Correct Answer:

Expedite this matter.

Explanation:

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.
