English

What is the correct active voice equivalent of the sentence "Rome was not built in a day."?

Correct answer: A

A
They did not build Rome in a day.
Correct
B
They could not build Rome in a day.
C
The Romans did not build Rome in a day.
D
They have not built Rome in a day.
Explanation and memory cue

The sentence "Rome was not built in a day" is a passive voice construction implying that the building of Rome took a long time. The correct active voice equivalent maintains the same tense and general meaning without adding unnecessary modal verbs or changing the subject. "They did not build Rome in a day" (option A) is the standard and most accurate active voice equivalent. Option B, "They could not build Rome in a day," adds a modal verb "could not" which implies impossibility rather than simply stating the fact that it was not built in a day. Option C specifies "The Romans," which is more specific than the original general statement. Option D, "They have not built Rome in a day," uses present perfect tense, which does not match the past tense of the original sentence. Therefore, option A is the best active voice equivalent.

What is the passive form of the question: "Why did you disobey your parents?"

Correct answer: B

A
Why do your parents was disobey by you?
B
Why were your parents disobeyed by you?
Correct
C
Why your parents was disobeyed by you?
D
Why your parents were disobey by you?
Explanation and memory cue

The passive form of the question "Why did you disobey your parents?" is correctly formed as "Why were your parents disobeyed by you?" This is because in passive voice, the object of the active sentence ("your parents") becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb "disobey" is changed to its past participle form "disobeyed" and is preceded by the auxiliary verb "were" to match the past tense. The question structure is maintained with "Why" at the beginning. The other options contain grammatical errors such as incorrect verb forms (e.g., "was" instead of "were") or incorrect word order.

It is your duty to make tea at eleven O’clock.

Correct answer: B

A
You are asked to make tea at eleven O’clock.
B
You are required to make tea at eleven O’clock.
Correct
C
You are supposed to make tea at eleven O’clock.
D
Tea is to be made by you at eleven.
Explanation and memory cue

The phrase "It is your duty to make tea at eleven O’clock" implies an obligation or requirement, which is best expressed by "You are required to make tea at eleven O’clock." Option C, "You are supposed to make tea at eleven O’clock," suggests expectation but is less strong than a duty or requirement. Option A is a polite request, and D is incomplete and awkward.

English

Change the voice: You will be acknowledged by the Government.

Correct answer: A

A
Government will acknowledge you
Correct
B
Government was acknowledge you
C
Government is acknowledge you
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The original sentence is in passive voice: 'You will be acknowledged by the Government.' To change it to active voice, the subject (The Government) performs the action on the object (you). The correct active voice sentence is 'The Government will acknowledge you.' Option A is missing the article 'The' before 'Government,' but this is a minor omission and does not change the correctness of the sentence in active voice. Options B and C are grammatically incorrect. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
