Grammar Focus: Correcting Verb Tense and Voice
The question asks us to find the best substitution for the underlined phrase "are failed to be achieved" in the sentence: "You are failed to be achieved high enough sales to earn a bonus this month." We need to ensure the corrected sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense in context.
Analyzing the Original Sentence
The original phrase "are failed to be achieved" has several issues:
- Verb Tense: The phrase "this month" suggests a completed action or situation within the past part of the current month. The passive "are failed" doesn't fit well.
- Voice: The sentence structure implies that "You" are the subject performing the action (or failing to perform it). Therefore, an active voice is required, not a passive one like "are failed" or "to be achieved".
- Verb Form: The combination "failed to be achieved" is awkward and incorrect. The standard structure is "fail to do something".
Evaluating the Options
Let's examine each option:
- Option 1: You will fail to achieve
This option uses the future tense ("will fail"). While grammatically possible in a different context, the original sentence refers to a situation likely related to the past actions within "this month", making the future tense inappropriate. - Option 2: You failed to achieve
This option uses the simple past tense ("failed") and the correct infinitive structure ("to achieve"). It correctly uses the active voice. "You failed to achieve" clearly indicates that the action of achieving sales did not happen in the past relevant to the context ("this month"). This is the most suitable option. - Option 3: You have fail achieving
This option is incorrect for multiple reasons. "Have fail" should be "have failed" (present perfect). Also, the structure requires "to achieve", not "achieving", after "fail". - Option 4: You fails to achieve
The verb "fails" is the third-person singular present tense form. It is incorrect to use "fails" with the subject "You". The correct form would be "fail".
Conclusion
Based on the analysis, the phrase "You failed to achieve" is the most appropriate substitution. It corrects the tense, voice, and verb form, resulting in a grammatically sound and contextually relevant sentence: "You failed to achieve high enough sales to earn a bonus this month."
