Question

Change the following sentence into the Active form.

Let the documents be submitted to the head of the department by the end of the week.

The correct answer is

Submit the documents to the head of the department by the end of the week.

The given sentence is an imperative passive of the pattern 'Let + object + be + past participle', which expresses a command or instruction.

The active form of an imperative passive drops the subject and begins directly with the base verb, addressing the doer as an understood 'you'.

So 'Let the documents be submitted...' becomes the direct command 'Submit the documents to the head of the department by the end of the week.'

Option A adds 'You should', turning it into advice; option C makes it a future statement; option D keeps a passive-like 'Let' structure.

The correct active form is Submit the documents to the head of the department by the end of the week.
