Choose Correct Active/Passive Voice Conversion
Please help me.

• A. I am helped.
• B. You are advised to help me.
• C. I was helped.
• D. You are requested to help me.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To correctly convert a sentence from active to passive voice, or vice versa, one must understand the roles of the subject and object within the sentence. In an active voice, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb. In passive voice, the subject is the recipient of the action.

The sentence provided is: "Please help me." It is implied that someone is being requested to perform the action. The task is to convey this request in a form that clarifies this structured request, usually represented in passive voice.

The correct passive form conversion is: "You are requested to help me." 

Explanation:

• Voice: The original sentence "Please help me" is a request. In passive voice, it involves changing the sentence to focus on the recipient of the action, which is a common form for requests.
• Structure: To transform requests or commands into passive voice, the structure "You are requested to" is often used, followed by the base form of the verb.
• Result: The resulting passive sentence "You are requested to help me" retains the original intention while shifting the focus of the sentence to show politeness and indirect speech.

The correct option is: "You are requested to help me."
