Question

Everyone should respect one's parents.
(Change the voice)

• A. Everyone respects his parents.
• B. Parents should be respected.
• C. Parents may be respected by everyone.
• D. Parents should respect everyone.

Hint:

For sentences with modal verbs (should, can, may, must, will, etc.), the passive voice is \[ \boxed{\text{Object + Modal + be + Past Participle}} \] Example: \[ \text{Students should obey rules.} \] \[ \Downarrow \] \[ \text{Rules should be obeyed.} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the voice of the sentence. The given sentence is in the Active Voice. \[ \text{Everyone (Subject)} \;+\; \text{should respect (Verb)} \;+\; \text{one's parents (Object)} \]

Step 2: Recall the rule for changing the voice. For sentences containing a modal verb such as should, the passive voice is formed as \[ \boxed{\text{Object + should + be + Past Participle}} \] The past participle of respect is respected.

Step 3: Analyse the options.
• (A) Incorrect. It changes the meaning and remains in the active voice.
• (B) Correct. It follows the correct passive voice structure.
• (C) Incorrect. The modal verb changes from should to may, altering the meaning.
• (D) Incorrect. It completely changes the meaning of the sentence.

Step 4: Final conclusion. \[ \boxed{\text{Parents should be respected.}} \] Hence, the correct option is \(\boxed{(B)}\).
