Light a candle in the memory of the brave martyrs.

A.

Let a candle be lit in the memory of the brave martyrs.

B.

A candle has been lit in the memory of the brave martyrs.

C.

A candle is lit by us in the memory of the brave martyrs.

D.

A candle will be lighted in the memory of the brave martyrs

Correct option is A


The correct passive form of the given sentence is "Let a candle be lit in the memory of the brave martyrs."
Definition of Active and Passive Voice:
· Active Voice: The subject performs the action of the verb.
Example: She writes a letter. (Subject: "She", Verb: "writes", Object: "a letter")
· Passive Voice: The object of the active sentence becomes the subject, and the verb is changed to its past participle (V3) form.
Example: A letter is written by her.
Explanation:
The given sentence is an imperative sentence (a command or instruction).
When changing an imperative sentence into passive voice, we follow this rule:
Active: (Verb + Object)Passive: Let + Object + be + past participle (V3)
· Active: Light a candle in the memory of the brave martyrs.
· Passive: Let a candle be lit in the memory of the brave martyrs.
Grammatical Rule Used:
For imperative sentences in the passive voice, we use:
"Let + object + be + past participle (V3)"
Explanation in Hindi:
· Active voice में: वाक्य में कर्ता (Subject) मुख्य होता है और वही क्रिया (Verb) करता है।
· Passive voice में: वाक्य में कर्म (Object) मुख्य बन जाता है और क्रिया का Past Participle (V3) रूप प्रयोग किया जाता है।
उदाहरण:
· Active: Close the door.
· Passive: Let the door be closed.
Other options are incorrect:
· (b) "A candle has been lit..." ❌ (Incorrect tense; does not match imperative form.)
· (c) "A candle is lit by us..." ❌ (Changes the sentence structure and meaning.)
· (d) "A candle will be lighted..." ❌ (Changes the tense; future tense is not required.)
Thus, the correct answer is (a) Let a candle be lit in the memory of the brave martyrs.
