The correct answer and explanation is:<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correct Answer: b. You are requested to hurry up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation (300 words)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The sentence “Please hurry up!”<\/strong> is in the imperative mood<\/strong>, which is used to give commands, make requests, or offer advice. It is a direct command\/request<\/strong>, and when converting imperative sentences into the passive voice<\/strong>, the structure changes based on the tone and intention of the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the sentence includes \u201cplease\u201d<\/strong>, it signals politeness<\/strong> and indicates a request<\/strong> rather than a harsh command. Therefore, when we convert this imperative sentence into passive voice, we interpret the intention and express it as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cYou are requested to hurry up.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is a standard passive construction for polite requests. Let\u2019s break down why the other options are incorrect or less appropriate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • a. I order you to hurry<\/strong> \u2013 While this conveys a command, it is not passive<\/strong>. It remains an active voice construction<\/strong> where \u201cI\u201d is the subject. Also, it lacks the politeness implied in \u201cplease.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • c. I advise you to hurry<\/strong> \u2013 Again, this is an active voice sentence<\/strong>, and it suggests advice, not a request or order. It changes the intended meaning<\/strong> of the original sentence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • d. both a and b<\/strong> \u2013 This implies that both options are passive<\/strong>, but only (b)<\/strong> correctly uses the passive voice<\/strong> with the appropriate tone<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    General Rule for Imperative Passive Voice:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When changing imperative sentences into passive voice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Use “You are requested\/ordered\/advised”<\/strong> depending on the intention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Maintain the verb in its infinitive<\/strong> form after \u201cto.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      So:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • \u201cPlease close the door.\u201d<\/strong> \u2192 \u201cYou are requested to close the door.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • \u201cHurry up!\u201d<\/strong> \u2192 \u201cYou are ordered to hurry up.\u201d (harsh)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • \u201cPlease hurry up!\u201d<\/strong> \u2192 \u2705 \u201cYou are requested to hurry up.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Thus, the best passive form of \u201cPlease hurry up!\u201d is b. You are requested to hurry up.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
