This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

The nation will have been addressed about the critical matter by the head of state.

The sentence must be turned from active to passive voice while keeping the same tense.

The active sentence is in the future perfect tense: “will have already addressed”. The object “the nation” becomes the subject of the passive sentence, and the subject “the head of state” moves to a “by” phrase.

The passive form of the future perfect tense is “will have been + past participle”. The past participle of “address” is “addressed”.

So the correct structure is: “The nation will have been addressed ... by the head of state.” This exactly matches option 1.

Option 2 (“will be addressed”) is simple future passive, which changes the tense, so it is wrong.

Option 3 (“has been addressed”) is present perfect passive, again a tense change, so it is wrong.

Option 4 (“will have addressed”) keeps the active form and merely reorders words; it is not passive at all and is ungrammatical here.

The correct passive transformation is The nation will have been addressed about the critical matter by the head of state.
