Active Voice: Rewriting the Sentence
The task is to convert a sentence from passive voice to active voice. The original sentence is: "The result will be declared next month by the university." We need to find the correct active voice equivalent from the given options.
Understanding Passive vs. Active Voice
In passive voice, the subject receives the action. The structure often includes a form of "to be" + past participle (e.g., "will be declared"). The doer of the action might be mentioned using "by".
In active voice, the subject performs the action. The structure is typically Subject + Verb + Object.
Analyzing the Passive Sentence
Let's break down the original passive sentence:
- Subject (receiving action): The result
- Verb Phrase (passive): will be declared
- Agent (performing action): the university
- Time Adverbial: next month
Converting to Active Voice
To change the sentence to active voice, we follow these steps:
- Make the agent ("the university") the new subject.
- Change the passive verb ("will be declared") to its active form. Since the passive uses the future modal "will", the active verb will also use "will". The structure becomes "will" + base form of the verb. So, "will be declared" becomes "will declare".
- Make the original passive subject ("The result") the new direct object.
- Keep the time adverbial ("next month").
Identifying the Correct Active Sentence
Following the conversion steps, the active voice sentence is: "The university will declare the result next month."
Now let's compare this with the options:
- Option 1: "The university declare the result next month" - Incorrect verb form.
- Option 2: "The university declares the result next month" - Incorrect tense (present simple instead of future).
- Option 3: "The university is declaring the result next month" - Incorrect tense (present continuous instead of future).
- Option 4: "The university will declare the result next month" - Correct. Matches the structure and tense required for the active voice conversion.
Therefore, the correct way to rewrite the sentence in active voice is Option 4.
| Passive Component | Active Component |
| Subject: The result | Object: the result |
| Verb: will be declared | Verb: will declare |
| Agent: by the university | Subject: The university |
