Select the option containing the correct passive voice transformation of: 'The environmental agency will publish the comprehensive emissions audit tomorrow.'
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The comprehensive emissions audit will be published by the environmental agency tomorrow.
- Step 1: The active voice sentence uses the future simple tense: 'will publish'.
- Step 2: The passive voice transformation requires: object ('The comprehensive emissions audit') + 'will be' + past participle ('published') + agent ('by the environmental agency').
- Step 3: Thus, 'will be published' is the exact tense equivalent.
Answer
The comprehensive emissions audit will be published by the environmental agency tomorrow.
Why not the others: 'would be published' alters the mood to conditional; 'is being published' alters the aspect to present continuous; 'will have been published' alters the aspect to future perfect.
