Answer 1

Hint:Words meet up to frame a sentence and these sentences can be shaped in more than one manner. One thing to note here is that regardless of what the structure of the sentence is, the importance of the sentence doesn't change when a sentence is changed from active to passive voice or vice versa.

Complete answer:
An activity in a sentence can be spoken in two ways - active and passive.

The passive voice consistently utilizes the past participle type of the primary verb regardless of any tense. Just the assistant verb relies on the sentence given in the active voice.

Let us assess the options and discuss the answer.
Option A. The fire was lit by someone.
It is incorrect because the passive form of "has" is not the word "was".
Option B.You are requested to light the fire by someone.
It is incorrect because it is in the active voice.
Option C. The fire has been lit by someone.
It is right as the subject of the given sentence (somebody) comes in the spot of the object (the fire) and the other way around, a similar tense is utilized (present perfect tense), and 'been' is utilized with the past participle of the main action word (lit).
It is the correct option.
Option D. The fire had been lit by someone
It is incorrect because the sentence implies the action has already occurred whereas the question is in the present tense.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Note:A subject is a specialist who plays out the verb on the object. Let us understand it with an example:- I swim in the lake. – I is the subject, swim is the verb, and the lake is the object.
Active voice:- When a subject is straightforwardly following up on the item, the sentence is written in Active voice.
Passive voice:- When the article is followed up on by the subject, the sentence is written in Passive voice.
