2. The active sentence "Let us organize a farewell party." converts to the passive voice as "It is suggested that we should organize a farewell party."
3. The active sentence "Let me play the acoustic guitar." converts to the passive voice as "Let the acoustic guitar be played by I."
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: C
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 2 handle "Let" constructions flawlessly. Statement 3 makes a critical error in pronoun casing.These require different handling depending on whether they express permission ("Let him") or a collective proposal ("Let us"). Structural Breakdown: Statement 1 uses the standard object swap.
Statement 2 correctly identifies "Let us" as a proposal, translating it into the formal "It is suggested that we should" structure.
Historical/Related Context: The "Let us" to "It is suggested" transformation is considered an advanced tier rule, frequently appearing in the most difficult shifts of banking PO exams to test semantic comprehension over rigid formulas.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 3 is incorrect because the pronoun following the preposition "by" must be in the objective case.
The pronoun "I" is subjective.
The correct transformation is "Let the acoustic guitar be played by me."
