Question

Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure:

The guests must have been informed about the delay by the coordinator.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

The coordinator must have informed the guests about the delay.

The modal perfect passive "must have been informed" expresses a confident past deduction, and its active equivalent keeps the same modal perfect form: "must have informed."

The agent "by the coordinator" in the passive sentence becomes the subject in the active sentence, giving "The coordinator must have informed the guests about the delay."

"Might inform" changes both the modal's certainty and the tense, "had informed" drops the modal entirely, and "must be informing" wrongly shifts to a continuous aspect, none of which preserve the original modal perfect meaning of a certain past deduction.

Hence, the answer is The coordinator must have informed the guests about the delay.
