    Question

    Select the most appropriate passive form of the verb to fill in the blank in the given sentence:
    By this time next week, the sound track of the film ___ remixed by the sound technician.

    A.

    had been

    B.

    is being

    C.

    has been

    D.

    would have been

    Correct option is D


    The correct passive form is option (d) would have been.

    Correct Passive Sentence:
    By this time next week, the sound track of the film would have been remixed by the sound technician.

    Explanation:
    The time expression By this time next week indicates a future point by which an action will have been completed. This calls for the Future Perfect Tense. In passive voice, the Future Perfect Passive is formed as follows:

    Grammatical Rule Used (English):

    • Active Future Perfect: Subject + will have + V³ + object
    • Passive Future Perfect: Object + would have been + V³ + by + subject

    In conditional or future passive constructions with by this time, would have been + V³ is the correct passive form.

    Explanation of Other Options:
    • (a) had been – Past perfect passive; refers to a past time, not a future time. Incorrect.
    • (b) is being – Present continuous passive; refers to an ongoing action in the present. Incorrect.
    • (c) has been – Present perfect passive; refers to a recently completed action. Incorrect for a future time expression.

    So the correct answer is (d)
