AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

The passive equivalent of the sentence "The taxi will drop you at the airport" is You will be dropped at the airport by the taxi. To convert a sentence from active to passive voice: 1. The object of the active sentence (you) becomes the subject of the passive sentence 2. A form of "to be" (will be) is added before the past participle of the main verb (dropped) 3. The subject of the active sentence (the taxi) becomes the object of the preposition "by" 4. The future tense is maintained in both versions This transformation properly maintains the meaning and tense of the original sentence while changing the focus from the taxi to the person being dropped off. Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
