Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
Light the lamp of knowledge in every heart.
Option 1: Let the lamp of knowledge being lighted in every heart.
Option 2: Let the lamp of knowledge be lit in every heart.
Option 3: Let the lamp of knowledge be lighting every heart.
Option 4: Let the lamp of knowledge light in every heart.
Correct Answer: Let the lamp of knowledge be lit in every heart.
Solution : The second option is the correct answer.
The object in the original sentence is the lamp of knowledge in every heart. This is what we want to bring to the forefront of passive construction. In the passive voice, we use a form of the verb be along with the past participle of the main verb. In this case, let be serves as the passive verb construction.
In this case, be lit is the passive construction of the original verb light. We need to start the sentence with the object to shift the focus to what is receiving the action.
The structure of passive voice sentences is: " Imperative verb + object + be + past participle of the main verb + prepositional phrase."
Therefore, the correct answer is: " Let the lamp of knowledge be lit in every heart."
