Q65: Consider the following statements regarding sentence transformations:
1. The active sentence "They will have completed the research by next month" converts to the passive voice as "The research will have been completed by them by next month."
2. The active sentence "We expect you to have finished the report by noon" converts to the passive voice as "You are expected to have finished the report by noon."
3. The active sentence "People generally suppose that the CEO is planning to resign" converts to the passive voice as "The CEO is generally supposed to be planning to resign."
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
2. The active sentence "We expect you to have finished the report by noon" converts to the passive voice as "You are expected to have finished the report by noon."
3. The active sentence "People generally suppose that the CEO is planning to resign" converts to the passive voice as "The CEO is generally supposed to be planning to resign."
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: D
🎯 Quick Answer:
All three statements demonstrate grammatically perfect passive transformations of high-complexity sentence structures.Structural Breakdown: Statement 1 flawlessly executes the "will have been + V3" rule.
Statement 2 promotes the object "you" to subject while keeping the perfect infinitive "to have finished" intact.
Statement 3 uses an advanced structural bypass, converting a "People suppose that..." clause directly into an infinitive phase attached to the promoted subject ("The CEO is supposed to..."). Historical/Related Context: These exact sentences were featured in the March 2026 SSC CGL Mock tests.
The third statement represents the highest difficulty tier in voice questions, requiring a total structural rewrite rather than a simple subject-object swap.
Causal Reasoning: The statements are entirely correct because they successfully shift focus to the recipient of the action while maintaining the precise timeline (future perfect, completed expectation, and ongoing plans) established by the active sentences.
