Select the correct passive form of the given sentence. You have to see it to…

Solution

The correct sentence is: It has to be seen to be believed.

Explanation:

• Change each active infinitive to the passive infinitive form: 'to see' → 'to be seen'; 'to believe' → 'to be believed'.

• 'Has to' functions like a modal phrase indicating necessity and remains unchanged in the passive construction. The impersonal subject 'It' is kept.

• Combine these to form the final passive sentence: 'It has to be seen to be believed.'

Notes on the incorrect choices:

• "It has to be seen to being believed." — Incorrect because 'to being believed' uses the gerund 'being' instead of the required passive infinitive 'to be believed'.

• "It needs to being seen to be believed." — Incorrect because 'needs to being seen' is ungrammatical; it should be 'needs to be seen' if using 'needs', and the second infinitive must be passive 'to be believed'.

• "It have to be seen to believe." — Incorrect due to subject-verb disagreement ('have' should be 'has') and because the second verb should be passive: 'to be believed'.
