    Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
    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.
