The given sentence is of ‘Active voice’.
The sentence is said to be in active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.
Now we have to convert it into passive voice.
Passive voice – If the sentence is in passive form, the subject remains inactive. It does
nothing, but allows something to be done.
In the passive form, the object of the verb in Active voice becomes the subject of the
verb in the Passive voice. ‘By’ is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the
object.
The given sentence is in the ‘Future simple tense’.
Structure in active voice – Subject + will+ v1+ object.
Structure in passive voice – Object + will + be +V3+ by + subject.
The sentence thus formed is – The rack will be arranged by Abhay.

The word that can be filled in the blank is `Who’.
Who – We use ‘Who’ as a relative pronoun to introduce a relative clause about people.
For example – The police officer who came was a friend of my father’s.
What – We can use what to ask for information about things and actions. It is also used as a pronoun to mean ‘the thing(s) that’.
For example – What do you want?
For example – What we need to do is make a list of useful phone numbers.
Which – It is used to introduce a nonessential clause (also known as a non-restrictive or non-defining clause), which adds supplementary information.
For Example – The product claiming “All natural ingredients,” which appeared in the Sunday newspaper, is on sale.
The product is already identified. Therefore, ‘which’ appeared in the Sunday newspaper is a nonessential clause containing additional, but not essential, information.
Why – Why is a wh-word. We use why to talk about reasons and explanations.
For Example – Why did he leave home when he was 16?
S10. Ans. (b)
Sol. The correct answer is option b.

Remaining words are spelt correctly.
