A
The door is kept ajar.
B
The door must be ajar.
C
Let the door be kept ajar.
D
The door has been ajar.
উত্তরের বিবরণ
Correct Answer: Let the door be kept ajar.
-
মূল বাক্য: Keep the door ajar. → এটি একটি imperative sentence, অর্থ: “দরজাটি আধা খোলা রাখো।”
-
Imperative sentence-এর passive voice সাধারণত Let দিয়ে শুরু হয়।
-
Passive গঠন: Let + subject + be + past participle + rest of the sentence।
-
এখানে verb keep এর passive form হলো be kept।
-
Object the door passive রূপে subject হয়ে যাবে।
-
তাই সঠিক passive রূপ: Let the door be kept ajar। এটি আদেশ বা অনুরোধ বোঝাতে ব্যবহৃত।
Other options:
-
ক) The door is kept ajar. → এটি সাধারণ Present Tense (habitual action), imperative-এর passive নয়।
-
খ) The door must be ajar. → এটি অনুমান বা অবস্থা বোঝায়, নির্দেশ নয়; তাই ভুল।
-
ঘ) The door has been ajar. → এটি Present Perfect Tense, imperative passive নয়।
