Question

The passive form of 'you need not submit the document'.

• A. The document need not submit
• B. The document need to be submitted
• C. The document need not be submitted
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The document need not be submitted

Let's break down the transformation from active to passive voice:

Active: You need not submit the document.

• Subject: You

• Verb phrase: need not submit

• Object: the document

To make it passive:

1. The object (the document) becomes the subject.

2. The main verb (submit) changes to its past participle form (submitted) and is preceded by "to be".

3. The modal phrase "need not" remains the same and is placed before "be submitted".

Therefore, the correct passive form is:
The document need not be submitted.
