Question

Change the verb into passive voice.
'Read the text and answer the questions. '

A.

The text has been read and questions have been answered.

B.

The text is read and questions will be answered.

C.

Let the text be read and questions answered.

D.

The text was read and questions were answered.

Correct option is C

The correct option is (c) Let the text be read and questions answered.
Imperative sentences in passive voice typically use the structure Let + object + be + past participle (V3). The original has two coordinated imperatives (“read… and answer…”), so both verbs are put into passive form; the second “be” can be ellipted in good usage: “…be read and questions (be) answered.”
Why the other options are incorrect:
· (a) “has been read / have been answered” → present perfect passive; changes tense and meaning (not an instruction).
· (b) “is read / will be answered” → mixes simple present passive and simple future passive; not an imperative form.
· (d) “was read / were answered” → simple past passive; reports a completed action, not a command/request.
Grammatical Rule (English):
· Imperative → Passive: Use Let + object + be + V3. For negative imperatives: Let not / Don’t let + object + be + V3 (e.g., Don’t let the door be left open).
· When coordinating two imperatives, convert each verb to be + V3; the second be may be omitted in concise style: Let the text be read and questions (be) answered.
व्याकरण नियम (Hindi):
· आदेशवाचक (Imperative) वाक्य का कर्मवाच्य (Passive): ढांचा— Let + object + be + V3। नकारात्मक रूप: Let not / Don’t let + object + be + V3
· जब दो आदेश जुड़े हों, दोनों क्रियाओं को be + V3 में बदला जाता है; संक्षेप में दूसरी बार be छूट सकता है: Let the text be read and questions (be) answered.
