Q72: Consider the following statements regarding sentence transformations:
1. The passive sentence "I will be gifted a fancy doll by them the next day" correctly converts to the active voice as "They will gift me a fancy doll the next day."
2. The active sentence "They have built a new bridge across the river" converts to the passive voice as "A new bridge has been built across the river by them."
3. The active sentence "Dipesh will send Rakesh away to college for certain reasons" converts to the passive voice as "Rakesh would be sent away to college for certain reasons by Dipesh."
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
2. The active sentence "They have built a new bridge across the river" converts to the passive voice as "A new bridge has been built across the river by them."
3. The active sentence "Dipesh will send Rakesh away to college for certain reasons" converts to the passive voice as "Rakesh would be sent away to college for certain reasons by Dipesh."
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: A
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 2 accurately map double-object reversals and present perfect shifts. Statement 3 contains an invalid modal shift.Structural Breakdown: Statement 1 accurately restores the "will + V1" active structure while managing both the direct and indirect objects smoothly.
Statement 2 precisely applies the "has been + V3" rule.
Historical/Related Context: The unwarranted conversion of "will" to "would" is the most heavily penalized error in SSC competitive grammar, as candidates persistently confuse Direct/Indirect narration rules with Voice transformation rules.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 3 is incorrect because the active modal verb "will" is changed to its past tense equivalent "would" during the conversion.
In Active-Passive voice mechanics, the modal must remain in its original temporal state.
The correct conversion is "Rakesh will be sent away to college for certain reasons by Dipesh."
