1. I am asking her to go to sleep.

Answer: D

Explanation: Option ‘D’ (She is being asked to go to sleep by me.). दिए गये Active Voice के वाक्य की संरचना  Subject + Verb + Object + Infinitive है जहाँ पर subject I है, verb AM ASKING है, object HER है, और infinitive TO GO है. ऐसे structure में verb Command, Ask, Request, Advise, Invitation, आदि होती हैं.

इस structure के वाक्यों को जब Passive Voice में बदला जाता है तो verb का object Passive Voice के वाक्य का subject बन जाता है, verb कि passive form use की जाती है; और infinitive में कोई बदलाव नहीं किया जाता है; जैसे

a) He invited me to go.
=I was invited to go.

b) My boss gave me a journal to read.
= I was given a journal to read by my boss.
= A journal was given to me to read by my boss.

2. Whom have you helped during the journey?

Answer: A

Explanation: Option ‘A’ (Who has been helped by you during the journey?). दिया गया sentence Active Voice में है और इसका object WHOM है. Active Voice के sentence को जब Passive Voice में बदला जाता है तो इसका object Passive Voice के sentence का subject बन जाता है. WHOM कीं Subjective form WHO होती है. Option ‘C’ इसलिए अशुद्ध है क्योंकि active/passive में tense को change नहीं किया जाता; अर्थात इसमें Present Perfect Tense का ही use होना था; Past Perfect Tense का नहीं.

3. Somebody built this house in 2001.

Answer: D

Explanation: Option ‘D’ (This house was built in 2001.). Subject SOMEBODY एक अनिश्चित (vague) subject, है; अतः Passive Voice में इसका उल्लेख (mention) करना आवश्यक नहीं है.

4. They had to scrap all the rules to accommodate a particular person.

Answer: A

Explanation: Option ‘A’ (All the rules had to be scrapped to accommodate a particular person.). दिए गये sentence में HAVE TO (यहाँ HAD TO) एक modal verb है; अतः इसकी passive form HAD TO BE SCRAPPED होगी.

5. The parents’ love should not be taken for granted.

Answer: D

Explanation: Option ‘D’ (One should not take parents’ love for granted.). दिया गया sentence Passive  Voice में है. जब हम किसी वाक्य को Active Voice में बदलते हैं तो यह आवश्यक होता है कि Active Voice के  subject का पता लगाये जाए. इसके लिए हमें BY PHRASE का object पता लगाना होता है. लेकिन Passive Voice के वाक्य में BY-PHRASE दिया ही नहीं गया है. इसका अभिप्राय यह है कि वो object अनिश्चित (vague) है.

Vague subjects के लिए PEOPLE, YOU, WE, THEY, ONE, SOMEONE का use किया जाता है. इनमें से THEY, SOMEONE को लोगों की सीमित संख्या के लिए use किया जाता है. परन्तु दिए गये वाक्य से स्पष्ट है ये बात सभी लोगों पर लागू होती है; अर्थात लोगों की संख्या असीमित है. अतः हमारा subject होगा ONE, YOU, WE अथवा PEOPLE.

6. Did anyone invite Rachna to the party?

Answer: C

Explanation: Option ‘C’ (Was Rachna invited to the party?). Active/Passive Voice में sentence का change नहीं बदलता. दिए गये sentence की verb DID INVITE से हमें पता लगता है कि इसका tense Past Simple Tense है. साथ में हमें ये भी पता है कि किसी भी verb की passive form BE + V3 होती है; अतः हमें यहाँ DID को BE की किसी form में बदलने की जरूरत है. BE की past form WAS अथवा WERE होती है. अब क्योंकि subject RACHNA singular है अतः हमें यहाँ BE की form WAS का use करना पड़ेगा.

7. The poet read his long poem himself.

Answer: A

Explanation: Option ‘A’ (The long poem was read by the poet himself.). Verb READ की तीनों form एक जैसी ही होती हैं; अर्थात ये READ, READ, READ होती हैं. Active Voice के दिए हुए sentence की form V1 नहीं हो सकती क्योंकि subject POET singular है; इसलिए ये अगर V1 होती तो ये READ के स्थान पर READS होती.  और ना ही ये V3 हो सकती है क्योंकि V3 कभी अकेले में use नहीं होती; इसके साथ किसी ना किसी helping verb का होना आवश्यक होता है. इसलिए ये V2 है; अर्थात इसका tense Past Simple Tense है; अतः passive में हमें WAS का use करना पड़ेगा.

8. Raksha Bandhan is celebrated all over the country.

Answer: D

Explanation: Option ‘D’ (All over the country people celebrate Raksha Bandhan.). Verb IS CELEBRATED का tense Present Simple Tense है; अतः Active Voice में ये verb CELEBRATE बन जायेगी.

9. We need to complete it immediately.

Answer: B

10. He is going to cast his vote for the first time.

Answer: A

Explanation: Option ‘A’ (For the first time the vote is going to be cast by him.). Active Voice के वाक्य की संरचना structure  Subject + Verb + infinitive + object है जहाँ पर subject HE है, verb IS GOING है, infinitive TO CAST है, और object HIS VOTE है.

उपरोक्त संरचना वाले Active Voice के वाक्य को Passive Voice में बदलने के लिए infinitive (to + V1) का object Passive Voice के वाक्य का subject बना जाता है और infinitive की form passive form हो जाती है.  Active Voice के वाक्य की verb Passive Voice वैसी की वैसी रहती है; जैसे

a) His colleagues started to respect Hari.
= Hari started to be respected by his colleagues.

b) People came to recognize her as the leading actress soon.
= She came to be recognized as the leading actress soon.

c) He is to do it.
= It is to be done by him.

d) Someone seems to have made a mistake.
= A mistake seems to have been made by someone.

e) I’m going to bring him here.
= He is going to be brought here by me.

NOTE: ऐसे प्रश्नवाचक (interrogative) वाक्यों का Passive voice

a) Why did your father refuse to give the money to you?
= Why was the money refused to be given to you by your father?

b) Why did the team captain hoped to select Jadeja?
= Why did Jadeja hoped to be selected by the team captain?

WARNING: Passive Voice का subject यदि कोई person नहीं है तो question word के साथ helping verb IS/WAS का use किया जाता है (पहले वाला वाक्य देखिये); और subject यदि कोई person है तो question word के साथ helping verb DO/DID का use किया जाता है (दूसरे वाला वाक्य देखिये).

NOTE: कभी- कभी Active Voice के object में उसके subject का possessive adjective (my, our, your, his, her, their, its, one’s) दिया गया होता है. आमतौर पर हम उस possessive adjective को वाक्य से हटा देते हैं और उसकी जगह अतिक्ले THE का use करते हैं; हालांकि कभी-कभी इस THE का use भी आवश्यक नहीं होता; जैसे

a) We had already taken our meals.
= The meals had already been taken by us.

b) One must do one’s duty.
= Duty must be done.

11. He is said to be a very honest officer.

Answer: A

Explanation: Option ‘A’ (They say that he is a very honest officer.). इस प्रश्न में हमें दिए गये वाक्य को Active Voice में बदलना है. परन्तु अच्छी समझ के लिए यहाँ हम ये जानेंगे कि इस प्रकार के वाक्य को किसे Active Voice को Passive Voice में बदला जाता है. Active Voice के वाक्य की verb जब SAY हो और उसके बाद कोई THAT-CLAUSE दिया हो तो उसको हम ऐसे बदलते हैं:

जब Active Voice की verb के बाद कोई THAT-CLAUSE दिया गया हो

It + Main Clause की verb की passive form + That-Clause यूँ का यूँ

अथवा

That-Clause का subject + Main-Clause की verb की passive form + That-clause की verb की infinitive form + दिया गया object/adjective

EXAMPLES
a) People consider that Mohan is a fool.
= It is considered that Mohan is a fool.
= Mohan is considered to be a fool.

b) People said that he was jealous of her.
=It was said that he was jealous of her.
= He was said to be jealous of her.

c) People say he is handsome.
= It is said that he is handsome.
= He is said to be handsome.

d) They know he has an idea.
= It is known that he has an idea.
= He is known to have an idea.

12. Boil the water and cool it before you keep it in the fridge.

Answer: C

Explanation: Option ‘C’ (Let the water be boiled and cooled before it is kept in the fridge.). इस वाक्य में दो आर्डर दिए गये है – एक तो पानी को BOIL करने का और दूसरा पानी को COOL करने का.; अतः इन दोनों ही verbs कि V3 use करनी पड़ेंगी. और जब दो या अधिक verbs जिनका subject एक ही हो को passive form में बदलना हो तो helping verb BE का use केवल पहले वाली verb से पहले ही करना होता है; अतः इनकी passive form ये बनेगी: BE BOILED AND COOLED.

13. She sincerely asked the man to tell her everything in details.

Answer: A

Explanation: Option ‘A’ (The man was sincerely asked by her to tell her everything in details.). दिए गये Active Voice के वाक्य की संरचना  Subject + Verb + Object + Infinitive है जहाँ पर subject SHE है, verb ASKED है, object THE MAN है, और infinitive TO TELL है. ऐसे structure में verb Command, Ask, Request, Advise, Invitation, आदि होती हैं.

इस structure के वाक्यों को जब Passive Voice में बदला जाता है तो verb का object Passive Voice के वाक्य का subject बन जाता है, verb कि passive form use की जाती है; और infinitive में कोई बदलाव नहीं किया जाता है; जैसे

a) He invited me to go.
=I was invited to go.

b) My boss gave me a journal to read.
= I was given a journal to read by my boss.
= A journal was given to me to read by my boss.

14. Will she tell us the truth?

Answer: C

Explanation: Option ‘C’ (Will the truth be told to us by her?). Active Voice में दिए गये वाक्य में verb TELL के दो object दिए गये है; एक तो US और दूसरा TRUTH. Active Voice के वाक्य की verb के जब दो object होते हैं तो उस वाक्य के Passive Voice के वाक्य का subject उन दोनों objects में से किसी भी object को बनाया जा सकता है. बस ध्यान ये रखना होता है कि किसी वस्तु वाले object (Direct Object) को अगर subject बनाते हैं तो व्यक्ति वाले object (Indirect Object) से पहले preposition TO और FOR में से जो भी उपयुक्त हो उसको लगाना होता है; जैसे 

a) The guard refused him admittance.
=He was refused admittance by the guard.
OR Admittance was refused to him by the guard.

b) I bought my son a pen.
= My son was bought a pen.
OR A pen was bought for my son.

c) He promised me a gift.
= I was promised a gift.
OR A gift was promised to me.

NOTE: Option ‘D’ (Will the truth be told us by her?) अशुद्ध है क्योंकि इसमें subject TRUTH है जो कोई वस्तु है, और इसमें व्यक्ति वाले object अर्थात US के पहले कोई preposition use नहीं किया गया है.

15. Why do you tell a lie?

Answer: C

16. You surprise me.

Answer: C

Explanation: Option ‘C’ (I am surprised.). Option ‘D’ क्योंकि pronoun ME को subject के रूप में use नहीं किया जा सकता; ME pronoun I का objective केस होता है, अतः इसको केवल object के रूप में ही use किया जा सकता है.

17. It is time to ring the bell.

Answer: D

Explanation: Option ‘D’ (It is time for the bell to be rung.).  ‘IT IS TIME’ के बाद में यदि कोई infinitive (यहाँ TO RING) हो तो ऐसे वाक्यों को passive में इस तरह से बदलते हैं: ‘It is time + for + noun/pronoun + to be + V3’; जैसे

a) It is time to close the shop.
= It is time for the shop to be closed.

b) It is time to give the final warning.
= It is time for the final warning to be given.

18. The main skills we seek to develop include analysing, interpreting and evaluating ideas.

Answer: B

Explanation: Option ‘B’ (The main skills sought to be developed by us include analysing, interpreting and evaluating ideas.). इस वाक्य में हमें infinitive TO DEVELOP का object चाहिए. किसी भी verb या infinitive का object प्राप्त करने के लिए हमें उसके बाद WHAT अथवा WHOM लगा कर question बनाना होता है; अतः हमारे दो question हुए: DEVELOP WHAT? और DEVELOP WHOM? इस नियम के अनुसार हमें question DEVELOP WHAT से answer मिल रहा है. और वो answer है: THE MAIN SKILLS; अतः यही infinitive TO DEVELOP का object है.

इसलिए दिए गये वाक्य को इस तरह से भी लिखा जा सकता है: We seek to develop the main skills that include anylising, interpreting and evaluating ideas. इस इस वाक्य की संरचना हुई: Subject + Verb + Infinitive + Object जहाँ पर subject WE है, verb SEEK है, infinitive TO DEVELOP है, और object THE MAIN SKILLS है. इस संरचना वाले Active Voice के वाक्य को Passive Voice में बदलने के लिए infinitive (to + V1) का object Passive Voice के वाक्य का subject बना जाता है और infinitive की form passive form हो जाती है.  Active Voice के वाक्य की verb Passive Voice वैसी की वैसी रहती है; जैसे

a) His colleagues started to respect Hari.
= Hari started to be respected by his colleagues.

b) People came to recognize her as the leading actress soon.
= She came to be recognized as the leading actress soon.

19. His hard work satisfied me.

Answer: C

Explanation: Option ‘C’ (I was satisfied with his hard work.). Active Voice के वाक्य का subject जब कोई व्यक्ति नहीं होता तो कुछ खास verbs के लिए BY के अतरिक्त कोई अन्य preposition use किया जाता है; verb SATISFY के साथ preposition WITH का use किया जाता है; जैसे

a) Smoke filled the room.
= The room was filled with smoke.

b) The boy’s work pleased the teacher.
= The teacher was pleased with the boy’s work.

20. He was disgusted with the flattery of his assistant.

Answer: A

Explanation: Option ‘A’ (The flattery of his assistant disgusted him.). Active Voice के वाक्य का subject जब कोई व्यक्ति नहीं होता तो कुछ खास verbs के लिए BY के अतरिक्त कोई अन्य preposition use किया जाता है; अतः यहाँ BY की बजाय WITH का use किया गया है. इस वाक्य में preposition WITH का object FLATTERY OF HIS ASSISTANT है, इसलिए यही Active Voice के वाक्य का subject बनेगा.

21. When he left school, the text books were put aside by him and never reopened.

Answer: A

Explanation: Option ‘A’ (He put aside his textbooks when he left school and never reopened them.). दिया गया वाक्य Passive Voice में है. और इसका subject THE TEXT BOOKS है. इसलिए Active Voice में ये object बन जाएगा, वास्तव में तो ये verb REOPEN का pronoun THEM की form में object बनेगा; और इसका subject HE बनेगा. Active Voice की verb REOPENहोगी WERE REOPENED नहीं.

Option ‘C’ अशुद्ध है क्योंकि Active Voice में verb REOPEN को object THEM की आवश्यकता है.

22. He was arrested on a charge of theft, but for lack of evidence he was released.

Answer: C

23. Darjeeling grows tea.

Answer: B

24. Do you understand what I mean?

Answer: D

Explanation: Option ‘D’ (Is what I mean understood by you?). दिया गया sentence एक Interrogative Sentence है; अतः Passive Voice में भी ये Interrogative Sentence ही रहेगा क्योंकि voice change में type of sentence नहीं बदलता. क्योंकि दिया गया sentence एक helping verb (यहाँ DO) से शुरू हो रहा है; अतः Passive Voice का sentence भी किसी helping verb से ही शुरू होगा. क्योंकि दिए गये sentence का tense Present Simple Tense है; Passive Voice के sentence का tense भी Present Simple Tense ही रखना पड़ेगा. और इसलिए option ‘B’ अशुद्ध है क्योंकि इसका tense Past Simple Tense है.

NOTE: Verb UNDERSTAND का object पूरा clause WHAT I MEAN है; अतः यही Passive Voice के sentence का subject बनेगा.

25. Before festivals the shops are thronged with men, women and children making various purchases.
