Choose the option that is the active form of the given sentence. A meeting of…

Solution

The correct active form is: The inspector will convene a meeting of his juniors.

How to convert a passive sentence to an active sentence:

• Identify the grammatical subject and the agent. In the passive sentence "A meeting of his juniors will be convened by the inspector," the grammatical subject is "A meeting of his juniors" and the agent (introduced by "by") is "the inspector."

• Make the agent the subject of the active sentence and the passive subject the object.

• Change the verb phrase from passive to active while keeping the same tense. For simple future passive "will be convened," remove "be" and use the base verb with the auxiliary: "will convene."

• Remove the preposition "by" after moving the agent to the subject position.

Step-by-step transformation:

• Original (passive): A meeting of his juniors will be convened by the inspector.

• Agent becomes subject: The inspector

• Verb phrase changes from "will be convened" to "will convene."

• Object becomes: a meeting of his juniors

Final active sentence:

The inspector will convene a meeting of his juniors.

Why the other choices are incorrect:

• "Would convene" changes the mood to conditional or less certain, so it does not match the simple future meaning of the original.

• "Is convening" is present continuous and indicates an action happening now, which does not preserve the original future meaning.

• "Will have convened" is future perfect and changes the aspect (it implies completion before a future time), so it does not match the simple future passive.
