Question and options
Direction: Change the following into Passive Voice.
We hope that we shall win the match.
- The match is hoped to be won.
- It is hoped that the match will be won by us.
- Winning the match is our hope.
- It was hoped to win the match by us.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - It is hoped that the match will be won by us.
Passive of a reported hope uses the impersonal "It is hoped that..." and the inner clause "we shall win the match" becomes "the match will be won by us". 'It is hoped that the match will be won by us' keeps both the tense and the agent.
