[#177] I saw him conducting the rehearsal.

(A) He was seen conducting the rehearsal.

(B) I saw the rehearsal to be conducted by him.

(C) He was seen by me to conduct the rehearsal.

(D) I saw the rehearsal being conducted by him.

Correct Answer

(A) He was seen conducting the rehearsal.

Explanation

Solution: Let's break down how to change this sentence from active to passive voice! First, identify the key parts of the sentence: "I saw him conducting the rehearsal." * Subject: I (the one doing the seeing) * Verb: saw * Object: him (the one being seen) * Participle Phrase: conducting the rehearsal When changing to passive voice, the object of the active voice becomes the subject of the passive voice. So "him" will become "he." Also, the verb 'saw' need to be converted into passive format according to the tense (simple past form) . Now, let's look at why the correct answer is Option A: He was seen conducting the rehearsal. * "He was seen" correctly uses the passive form of the verb "saw." It's in the past tense and shows that the action was done *to* him. * "conducting the rehearsal" This part remains same as it is participle phrase. Why the other options are wrong: * Option B: I saw the rehearsal to be conducted by him. This changes the meaning and isn't a direct passive transformation of the original sentence. * Option C: He was seen by me to conduct the rehearsal. While grammatically correct, adding "by me to conduct" makes the sentence unnecessarily complex and doesn't flow as naturally as Option A. it changes the meaning also. * Option D: I saw the rehearsal being conducted by him. This is in active form not in passive form. In summary, the simplest and most accurate passive form of the original sentence is "He was seen conducting the rehearsal."

[#178] You must look into this matter.

(A) This matter has been looked into by you.

(B) This matter may be looked into by you.

(C) This matter should be looked into by you.

(D) This matter into looked by you.

Correct Answer

Explanation

Solution: The question is: You must look into this matter. We need to change this from active voice to passive voice . Let's break down the sentence: * You (subject) * must look into (verb - notice 'must' indicates obligation or advice) * this matter (object) In passive voice, the object becomes the subject. Also, we need to keep the meaning of "must" (obligation). Let's look at the options: Option A: This matter has been looked into by you. This uses "has been," which changes the meaning from "must." So, this is incorrect. Option B: This matter may be looked into by you. This uses "may," which changes the meaning from "must." So, this is incorrect. "May" shows possibility, not obligation. Option C: This matter should be looked into by you. "Should" is the passive form of "must" and more appropriately carries the sense of obligation or necessity. The structure is correct: Object becomes subject ("This matter"), "must look into" becomes "should be looked into", and the original subject "you" can be included with "by you". Therefore, this answer choice is correct Option D: This matter into looked by you. This is grammatically incorrect and doesn't make sense. The word order is wrong. Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: This matter should be looked into by you. Key takeaway: When changing voice, identify the subject, verb, and object. Understand how modal verbs like "must", "can", "should" transform in passive voice. And always double-check for grammatical correctness!
