Answer 1

Hint:The above-mentioned is in the active voice (A sentence appears to be an active voice when the subject behaves like the doer of action) needs to be converted in passive voice (A sentence appears to be in the passive voice when the new subject becomes the receiver of the action).

Complete answer:
Option (A) “Future cannot be predicted by anybody”: is the correct option because the subject in the active voice takes place of the object and vice versa meaning the subject is interchanged with the place of an object where the basic structure of the sentence was ‘nobody’ + verb ’can predict’ + object ‘future’ which is now converted to the new structure object ’future’ + verb ‘cannot be predicted’ + preposition ‘by’ + subject ‘nobody’.

Option (B) “Future could not be predicted by nobody” is an incorrect option because the word ‘could’ is the past tense form which is not acceptable here.

Option (C) “Future not be predicted by somebody” is an incorrect option because infinitive ‘not be’ replaced the place of the modal verb ‘cannot’.

Option (D) “Both B and C” is an incorrect option because the answer lies in option A.

Hence, the correct answers are Option ‘A’.

Note:An active to passive voice, object in active voice takes place of the subject, and vice versa.
