    Question

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
    "You must send applications to the university before December 30."

    A.

    Applications has to be sent to the university before December 30.

    B.

    Applications were to be sent to the university before December 30.

    C.

    Applications must be sent to the university before December 30.

    D.

    Applications are to be sent to the university before December 30.

    Correct option is C


    Explanation of the Correct Answer:
    · The given sentence is in active voice:
    · Subject (You) + Verb (must send) + Object (applications to the university).
    · When converting to passive voice, the object "applications" becomes the subject.
    · The correct structure is:
    · "Applications must be sent to the university before December 30."
    Other options:
    · (a) "Applications has to be sent" → Incorrect because "Applications" is plural, so "has" should be "have."
    · (b) "Applications were to be sent" → Incorrect because "were to be sent" implies past obligation, while the original sentence is in present/future.
    · (d) "Applications are to be sent" → Incorrect because "are to be sent" changes the modal verb "must" to a less forceful obligation.
    Thus, the correct answer is (c) "Applications must be sent to the university before December 30."
