    Question

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice. Close the curtains!

    A.

    Let the curtains become closed!

    B.

    Let the curtains be closed!

    C.

    Let the curtains fall close!

    D.

    Let the curtains be close!

    Correct option is B

    The correct passive voice of the given sentence is (b) Let the curtains be closed!
    Explanation:
    The given sentence is an imperative sentence (a command). To convert such a sentence into passive voice, the general rule is:
    Structure:
    · Active Voice (Imperative): Verb + object
    · Passive Voice: Let + object + be + past participle
    Step-by-Step Conversion:
    1. Identify the verb and the object in the active sentence:
    · Verb: Close
    · Object: the curtains
    2. Reframe the sentence using the passive structure:
    · Use Let to indicate permission or instruction.
    · Add the object ( the curtains).
    · Use be followed by the past participle of the verb ( closed).
    Thus, "Close the curtains!" becomes "Let the curtains be closed!"
    Why other options are incorrect:
    · (a) Let the curtains become closed!: The phrase "become closed" is awkward and not used in standard English for passive constructions.
    · (c) Let the curtains fall close!: The phrase "fall close" changes the meaning entirely, implying the curtains fall on their own.
    · (d) Let the curtains be close!: This uses "close" as an adjective, which does not align with the imperative structure of the original sentence.
