Choose the best option in which the given sentence has been changed from Active Voice into Passive Voice.
I will finish the task in a week's time.

Appeared in: NVS- 2025

Explanation

The original sentence is in the Simple Future Tense (will + V1).
The correct passive construction for this tense is: Object + will + be + V3 (past participle) + by + Subject.
Applying this rule, 'I will finish the task' correctly becomes 'The task will be finished by me'.
This option accurately transforms the sentence while retaining the original tense and including the agent ('by me').

Option A: This option incorrectly changes the modal verb 'will' to 'would'. This change is associated with reported speech (indirect speech), not voice conversion.
Option C: This option omits the agent ('by me'). While passive sentences often omit the agent, in a direct conversion exercise, the option that includes the agent is considered more complete and accurate.
Option D: This option changes the tense from Simple Future to Future Perfect ('will have finished') and fails to change the voice from active to passive.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Active to Passive Voice Conversion (Simple Future Tense) as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
This question tests English grammar, which is a non-nursing subject included in nursing entrance examinations.
Strong command of grammar is essential for clear and accurate nursing documentation, patient communication, and understanding medical literature.
Misinterpreting or miswriting instructions due to grammatical errors can have serious patient safety implications.

How to Approach the Question

First, identify the tense of the verb in the original sentence. Here, 'will finish' is the Simple Future Tense.
Identify the subject ('I'), the verb ('finish'), and the object ('the task').
Recall the rule for converting that specific tense into the passive voice. For Simple Future, the structure is: Object + will + be + Past Participle (V3) + by + Subject.
Apply the rule: The object 'the task' becomes the new subject. The verb becomes 'will be finished'. The subject 'I' becomes 'by me'.
Construct the new sentence: 'The task will be finished by me in a week's time.'
Compare your constructed sentence with the given options to find the exact match.
