1. The passive sentence "It is said that Einstein was a genius" converts to the active voice as "People say that Einstein was a genius."
2. The active sentence "The technician repairs the device daily" converts to the passive voice as "The device is repaired by the technician daily."

2. The active sentence "The technician repairs the device daily" converts to the passive voice as "The device is repaired by the technician daily."
3. The active sentence "Rama shall give you her book" converts to the passive voice as "You will be given her book by Rama."
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: D
🎯 Quick Answer:
All three statements demonstrate grammatically perfect voice transformations across different structural complexities.Structural Breakdown: Statement 1 accurately supplies the general subject "People" to replace "It is said". Statement 2 smoothly translates the daily routine present verb "repairs" into "is repaired". Statement 3 successfully promotes the indirect object "you" and converts "shall give" to "will be given". Historical/Related Context: The "Einstein was a genius" sentence was officially asked in the SSC CPO 2023 Paper-II, held on January 8, 2024.
It tests the candidate's ability to recognize that "that Einstein was a genius" is a phrase acting as the object, necessitating a structural bypass.
Causal Reasoning: The statements are fully correct because they maintain the exact timeline of the original sentences while strictly adhering to the syntactic rules governing direct/indirect objects and omitted vague agents.
