Q1Choose the option that is NOT the correct passive voice of the sentence: The typist is preparing the notice now.
The present continuous passive is formed with 'is/am/are + being + past participle'. The cue is 'is preparing' and the time marker 'now', so the passive must be 'is being prepared'. Option B uses 'was being prepared', the past continuous passive, which clashes with the given present-time sentence; hence it is the only incorrect option.
Q2Which option is grammatically incorrect as a passive interrogative based on the sentence? Did the manager approve the proposal?
A simple past passive interrogative is formed as 'was/were + subject + past participle'. The active sentence 'Did the manager approve the proposal?' becomes 'Was the proposal approved by the manager?'. Only option A is grammatically incorrect because it keeps the base verb 'approve' instead of the past participle 'approved'.
Q3Choose the correct passive voice of the sentence: The clerk checks the applications carefully.
The simple present passive is formed with 'is/am/are + past participle'. The active object is 'the applications', a plural noun, so it becomes the passive subject and takes 'are'. Therefore, 'checks' changes to 'are checked', making only 'The applications are checked carefully by the clerk' correct.
Q4Choose the correct passive voice of the sentence: The clerk has dispatched the letters.
The present perfect passive is formed as 'has/have been + past participle'. The cue is the active verb phrase 'has dispatched', which must become 'has/have been dispatched'. Since the passive subject 'the letters' is plural, the auxiliary must be 'have'. Therefore, only 'The letters have been dispatched by the clerk' preserves the tense and meaning correctly.
Q5Change the following sentence into passive voice: The committee will announce the result tomorrow.
The passive form of the future simple tense is 'will be + past participle'. The cue 'will announce' shows future simple, and the active object 'the result' must become the passive subject. Therefore, only 'The result will be announced by the committee tomorrow' preserves the meaning and uses the correct future passive form.
