    Question

    Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
    Next Sunday, the entire nation will light lamps at 8.00 pm

    A.

    Next Sunday, lamps are to be lighted by the entire nation at 8.00 pm.

    B.

    Next Sunday, the entire nation will be lighted by lamps at 8.00 pm.

    C.

    Next Sunday, lamps will be lighted by the entire nation at 8.00 pm.

    D.

    Next Sunday, lamps will have been lighted by the entire nation at 8.00 pm.

    Correct option is C

    The correct passive voice of the given sentence is “Next Sunday, lamps will be lighted by the entire nation at 8.00 pm.”
    Explanation:
    In the given sentence, the subject “the entire nation” performs the action of lighting lamps (object).
    To convert it into the passive voice, the object “lamps” becomes the subject, and the structure changes as per the rules of Simple Future Tense.
    Grammatical rule used:
    Active voice (Simple Future): Subject + will/shall + V1 + Object
    Passive voice (Simple Future): Object + will/shall + be + V3 + by + Subject
    Example:
    Active: She will paint the wall.
    Passive: The wall will be painted by her.
    Explanation of other options:
    · (a) Incorrect – “are to be lighted” changes the tense to modal expression of obligation, not future.
    · (b) Incorrect – changes meaning; makes lamps the doer.
    · (d) Incorrect – “will have been lighted” is Future Perfect tense, not Simple Future.
