PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Close the door.

The given sentence "Let the door be closed" is in the passive voice. To convert it to the active voice, we need to identify the subject performing the action. In the passive sentence, the subject ("the door") is undergoing the action of being closed. The active voice requires a subject performing the action.

Analyzing the options:

  • Option 1 ("The door will be closed") is still in the passive voice.
  • Option 2 ("The door is closed") is in the passive voice and describes a state, not an action.
  • Option 3 ("Close the door") is in the active voice. The implied subject "you" is performing the action of closing the door.
  • Option 4 ("Please let him close the door") is a request, but it remains in the passive voice concerning the door's action.

Therefore, the only option that correctly expresses the sentence in the active voice is "Close the door". The shift from passive ("Let the door be closed") to active ("Close the door") involves making the implied subject (you) the explicit subject and changing the verb to its active form.
