Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
Active sentence: I have to deposit some money.
Passive formation rule: Object + has/have to + be + past participle + by + subject.
Identify the object: "some money" (note: "money" is uncountable, so use "has").
Change the verb phrase "have to deposit" into passive form by adding "be" and using the past participle: "has to be deposited."
Move the object to the front and add the agent with "by": "Some money has to be deposited by me."
Therefore the correct passive sentence is: Some money has to be deposited by me.
Why the other given sentences are incorrect:
"Some money have to be deposited by me." is wrong because 'money' is uncountable and requires 'has' rather than 'have'.
"Some money has to deposit by me." is wrong because passive voice requires 'to be' + past participle; this sentence is missing 'be' and uses the base verb form.
"Some money has to be deposit by me." is wrong because it uses the base form 'deposit' instead of the past participle 'deposited'.
