3. The active sentence "Aaradhya cannot oppose our views which are helpful in her studies" converts to the passive voice as "Our views which are helpful in her studies cannot opposed by Aaradhya."
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: A
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 2 are flawlessly executed passive shifts. Statement 3 drops a mandatory auxiliary verb.Structural Breakdown: Statement 1 applies the "Modal + be + V3" rule to "must take", resulting in "must be taken", while dropping the vague subject "We". Statement 2 matches the plural "tasks" with "are handled". Historical/Related Context: The handling of long relative clauses (like "views which are helpful in her studies") is a common exam trick to see if the student will incorrectly break the clause apart during the subject-object swap.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 3 is incorrect because it fails to include the base verb "be" after the modal "cannot". The passive voice for modal verbs strictly requires this addition.
The correct passive sentence must read: "Our views which are helpful in her studies cannot be opposed by Aaradhya."
