Answer:
A programme will be conducted by the department on Republic Day.
Explanation:
In grammar, the term <em>voice </em>refers to the relationship between the action expressed by the verb and the participants of the described event (the subject and object). In English, there are two types of voice:
- Active voice - the subject acts upon the verb.
- Passive voice - the subject is the recipient of the action expressed by the verb.
In order to turn the given sentence into a passive one, we need to make its object the subject. The object is <em>a programme</em>.
The subject is <em>the department</em><em>.</em> In passive voice, the subject becomes the object of the preposition<em> by</em>.
The verb needs to be changed as well. The tense remains the same, but it needs to contain the past participle.
This is how we'll get the following sentence:
- A programme will be conducted by the department on Republic Day.
