    This unfair proposal is objected to by us.


    Solutions

    The given sentence is the passive voice of the simple present tense.

    The structures for active/passive voices are:

    Passive Voice: Object+ is/am/are+ V3+ by + Subject.

    Active Voice: Subject + V1+ Object

    The rules for converting passive to active voice are as follows:

    1. Identify the subject of the sentence - who is doing an action? Here, the subjects objected the unfair proposal.

    2. Change the object (us) into subject (we).

    3. 'This unfair proposal' becomes the object in the active voice.

    4. The ‘to be’ form of the verb is converted to simple tense. In the given sentence, the verb in the passive voice is 'is objected', therefore, the verb in the active voice should be in simple present tense i.e. ‘object’.

    Therefore, the sentence in the active voice will be ‘We object to this unfair proposal’. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    They agreed that the elections should be postponed.


    Solutions

    The given sentence is of the past tense and is in the active voice, as the form of the verb (‘agreed’) shows that its subject (‘they’) was doing something and was ‘active’.

    It can be changed to the passive voice, where something can be done by the subject.

    The structures for active/passive voices are:

    Active Voice: Subject + V2 + object

    Passive Voice: Object+ was/were + V3+ by + subject

    In order to do that,

    1. The object of the transitive verb in the active voice should become the subject of the verb in the Passive voice. Here, the object is hidden. Hence, we will use 'it' as the subject.

    2. Add the appropriate form of the verb 'be' to the sentence and use the past participle of the verb. The given sentence is in the past tense. Therefore, 'agreed' is converted to ‘was agreed'.

    3. Add a 'by' followed by the doer of the action.

    Thus, the same sentence in the Passive voice is ‘It was agreed by them that the elections should be postponed’.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

    Solutions

    The given sentence is of the past tense and is in the Active voice, as the form of the verb (‘advised’) shows that its subject (‘the doctor’) was doing something and was ‘active’.

    It can be changed to the Passive voice, where something can be done by the subject.

    The structures for active/passive voices are:

    Active Voice: Subject + V2 + object

    Passive Voice: Object+ was/were + V3+ by + subject

    In order to do that,

    1. The object of the transitive verb in the active voice should become the subject of the verb in the Passive voice. (‘she’ becomes the subject in place of ‘the doctor’).

    2. Add the appropriate form of the verb 'be' to the sentence and use the past participle of the verb. The given sentence is in the past tense. Therefore, 'advised' is converted to ‘was advised'.

    3. Add a 'by' followed by the doer of the action.

    Thus, the same sentence in the Passive voice is ‘She was advised a week’s rest by the doctor’.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.
