Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Final passive sentence: Ten chapters will have been taught by the teacher by the last period.

Steps to convert the active sentence to passive:

  • Identify parts: subject = the teacher, object = ten chapters, verb phrase = shall have taught, time phrase = by the last period.

  • Make the object the new subject: "Ten chapters."

  • Use the perfect passive form of the verb: "shall have taught" (active) → "will have been taught" (passive).

  • Add the agent with "by": "by the teacher," and keep the time phrase: "by the last period."

Notes:

  • Alternative acceptable word orders: "By the last period, ten chapters will have been taught by the teacher."

  • Using "shall" instead of "will" is more formal: "Ten chapters shall have been taught by the teacher by the last period." Modern usage commonly uses "will."
