Grammar: Active Passive Voice

Question:

Choose the most suitable option to convert the following sentence into Active Voice:

You should be prepared for war.

Options:

You shall prepare for war.

You will prepare for war.

You should prepare for war.

Prepare for war.

Correct Answer:

Prepare for war.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Prepare for war.

  1. Option 1: "You shall prepare for war."

    • This changes the modal verb "should" to "shall," but it still maintains the same structure as the original sentence. It doesn't fully convert the sentence into active voice because it retains the word "you" as the subject.
  2. Option 2: "You will prepare for war."

    • This option changes the modal verb "should" to "will," but again, it maintains the same structure as the original sentence. It still keeps "you" as the subject.
  3. Option 3: "You should prepare for war."

    • This choice keeps the sentence in passive voice with "you" as the subject. It merely replaces "be prepared" with "prepare," but the structure remains the same.
  4. Option 4: "Prepare for war."

    • This option fully converts the sentence into active voice by removing the subject "you" and the modal verb "should." It gives a direct and active command to "prepare for war."
