Question and options
Change the following sentence to passive voice:
The committee should reconsider the proposal before making a decision
The committee should reconsider the proposal before making a decision
- The proposal should be reconsidered by the committee before making a decision
- The proposal should have been reconsidered by the committee before making a decision
- The proposal should reconsider by the committee before making a decision
- The proposal should has been reconsidering by the committee before making a decision
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - The proposal should be reconsidered by the committee before making a decision
Active: 'should reconsider the proposal'. Passive with a modal is 'should be + past participle', so 'The proposal should be reconsidered by the committee...'. 'Should have been reconsidered' wrongly changes the tense, and 'should reconsider by' and 'should has been reconsidering' are ungrammatical.
