SSC Selection Post 2022 Matriculation Level Question Paper (02-Aug-2022) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is

Why would the letter be burned by Celia?

The correct answer is Why would the letter be burned by Celia?.

The structure of the passive voice always involves a form of the verb 'to be' (is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been) followed by the past participle of the main verb. When converting from active to passive, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The subject of the active sentence, if included in the passive sentence, becomes the object of the preposition 'by'. Sentences with modal verbs follow a specific passive structure involving 'be' + past participle, as demonstrated in this example.
