Which option is the correct Active Voice of the sentence given below ?
Promises should be kept.
Answer: B
The active voice is One should keep one's promises.
Promises should be kept is a passive sentence with no doer named. To make it active, an indefinite subject is supplied, here one, and the subject of the passive, promises, becomes the object: One should keep one's promises. The modal should is kept.
'Promises are to be kept' is still passive, and 'One's promises should be kept by one' is passive too, with an awkward agent added. 'Promises can not be kept' changes the meaning from obligation to impossibility.
