John told me that the FIA exam was difficult the day before, but he passed it.
John told me that the FIA exam had been difficult the day before, and he had passed it.
John said me that the FIA exam had been difficult the day before, but I had passed it.
ExplanationWhen reporting speech, the tenses must shift back (Simple Past $
ightarrow$ Past Perfect) and time adverbs must change (yesterday $
ightarrow$ the day before). Since John is the subject, all pronouns must refer to him ('he had passed it').
After a detailed discussion, John had been appointed the Head of Department by the committee members.
The committee members appointed John to be the Head of Department after a detailed discussion.
John was appointed the Head of Department by the committee members after a detailed discussion.

ExplanationIn passive voice, the direct object (John) becomes the subject, and the original verb structure ('appointed') takes the passive form ('was appointed').
The new education policy will be expected to pass by the government next month.
The new education policy was expected to pass by the government next month.
The new education policy is expected to be passed by the government next month.
The new education policy has been expected to pass by the government.
ExplanationThe structure 'is expected to' indicates a passive construction, requiring the main action to be phrased as 'to be passed' to maintain tense consistency and shift the focus to the policy.

He asked the librarian whether to tell him where the Urdu section was.
He asked the librarian whether he could tell him about the Urdu section.
He asked the librarian if he could tell him where the Urdu section was.
ExplanationSince the direct speech is a request/question using 'Could', we use 'if' (or 'whether'). The interrogative word 'where' acts as the connector, making the structure: 'if' + Subject + could + tell + Object + where... was'.
The principal was accused of neglecting his duties, but the committee insisted that the faulty policy revoke.
The principal was accused of neglecting his duties, but the committee insisted on the revocation of the faulty policy.
The principal was accused of neglecting his duties, but the committee insisted that the faulty policy be revoked.
The principal was accused of neglecting his duties, but the committee insisted that the faulty policy was revoked.
ExplanationVerbs like 'insist' require the use of the subjunctive mood after 'that,' which means the dependent clause should use 'that + subject + (be) + base form' (i.e., 'that the faulty policy be revoked').
The Chief Superintendent warned the personnel that the results of the next round of interviews must be announced on Monday.
The Chief Superintendent told the personnel that the results of the next round of interviews had been announced on Monday.

The Chief Superintendent informed the personnel that the results of the next round of interviews would be announced on Monday.
ExplanationWhen 'will' is used in direct speech and the reporting verb is in the past tense, it must shift to 'would' in indirect speech. Since the statement provides general information, using the reporting verb 'informed' is the most appropriate and academic choice.

All applicants are recommended to submit their biometric data by the committee before the closing date.
The submission of biometric data by all applicants is recommended by the committee before the closing date.
It was recommended by the committee that all applicants submitted their biometric data before the closing date.
ExplanationThis sentence uses the subjunctive mood structure ('recommend that + subject + base form of the verb'). Since the main verb ('recommends') is in the present tense, the passive structure must maintain the present tense auxiliary, 'It is recommended'.
It is recommended by them that she completes the assignment immediately.
It is recommended that she complete the assignment immediately.
The assignment should be completed immediately, recommending her efforts.
That she should complete the assignment immediately is recommended by them.
ExplanationThe structure 'recommend that + Subject + Base Verb' (subjunctive mood) is best preserved using the impersonal passive structure: 'It is recommended that...' followed by the base verb.

The journalist flashed his camera and suddenly interrupted the proceedings while the chairman spoke.
While the chairman was speaking, the journalist suddenly flashed his camera and interrupted the proceedings.

ExplanationThe Past Continuous Tense ('was speaking') correctly sets the background action, which is then interrupted by a sudden, single action in the Simple Past Tense ('flashed and interrupted'), establishing correct temporal consistency.

She exclaimed that the view is very beautiful from that hill.
She exclaimed that the view was very beautiful from that hill.

The proposal must reviewed by the committee before the deadline.
The proposal is having to be reviewed by the committee before the deadline.
By the committee, the proposal must be reviewed before the deadline.

By the committee members, the new draft guidelines will finally be approved after the arduous deliberation.

The supervisor ordered the staff that they should finish this report by 5 PM tomorrow.
The supervisor ordered the staff to finish that report by 5 PM that day.

The committee members were discussing the controversial proposal.
The controversial proposal was being discussed by the committee members.
The controversial proposal has been discussed by the committee members.

The student stated that he could not attend the seminar yesterday because he was ill.
The student stated that he could not attend the seminar the previous day because he was ill.

Rohit told Amir that he finished his assignment the day before, so he had to submit it that day.
Rohit informed Amir that he must finish his assignment the previous day.

ExplanationThe statement requires tense shift. 'Finished' becomes Past Perfect ('had finished'), and 'yesterday' is most formally translated as 'the previous day'. 'Must' shifts to 'had to'.
The supervisor exclaimed that they had to complete that report by the next morning.
The supervisor exclaimed that they must complete that report by the following morning.
The supervisor exclaimed that they should complete it by the following morning.
The supervisor exclaimed that they must complete this report by tomorrow morning.

The coach had reminded them that neither Imran nor his teammates had been serious about the match until it was crucial.
The coach reminded them that neither Imran nor his teammates were serious about the match until the tournament was crucial.
The coach reminded them that neither Imran nor his teammates were being serious about the match until the tournament was crucial.
ExplanationSince the reporting verb ('reminded') is in the past, the tense of the clause ('were serious') must shift to Past Perfect ('had been serious') to reflect the reported time.
She told her friend that she finished the entire report the day before.
She said that she finished the entire report the previous day.
She said that she finished the entire report yesterday.
She said that she had finished the entire report the previous day.
ExplanationThe original statement is in Simple Past (finished). In indirect speech, Simple Past shifts to Past Perfect (had finished), and 'yesterday' becomes 'the previous day' or 'the day before'.

The officer advised the staff members to file the reports immediately and ensure that all files were signed.
The officer advised the staff members filing the reports immediately and ensuring all files were signed.

The old manuscripts are known by historians worldwide.
Worldwide historians know the old manuscripts.
The world's historians know the old manuscripts.
Historians worldwide know the old manuscripts.
ExplanationThe original passive sentence implies a general truth. In the active voice, 'Historians worldwide' (plural subject) performing the action 'know' (simple present) is the most direct and grammatically sound option. Option B is also acceptable but A is simpler and less ambiguous.

The old man said that neither the students nor the children pay attention to the lecture.
The old man told that the students or the children paid attention to the lecture.
The old man reported that the children or the students were paying attention to the lecture.
ExplanationThe sentence uses 'neither...nor', which remains the primary structure. Since the original statement was in the past continuous ('were paying'), the reported speech must maintain a past tense structure that accurately reflects the original meaning, which Option A does.
The librarian advised the students to submit their assignment before Friday.
The librarian ordered the students submitting their assignment before Friday.
The librarian told the students that they should submit their assignment before Friday.
The librarian requested the students to having submitted their assignment before Friday.
ExplanationDirect commands are best converted using an infinitive structure (to + verb). Using 'advised' or 'requested' conveys the tone appropriate for a librarian and maintains perfect grammar.

She asked me to possibly provide her with the necessary documentation for her application.
She asked me if I could possibly to provide her with the necessary documentation for her application.

The officer advised the guards that they must not allow any unauthorized entry.

John wished that the view to be very beautiful.
John exclaimed that the view was very beautiful.

By the committee, the detailed proposals have been reviewed since morning.
The detailed proposals have been being reviewed by the committee.

ExplanationThe question is fundamentally flawed as none of the options represent a direct passive conversion. However, Option A is the only grammatically sound sentence structure presented, using the Present Perfect Continuous Active voice, making it the most plausible intended answer despite the faulty premise.

Rohan told Aisha that he had completed his report and would submit it the next day.
Rohan said to Aisha that he had completed his report, and that he will submit it the next day.

ExplanationThe present perfect ('have completed') must change to past perfect ('had completed'), and 'will' must change to 'would' in reported speech. Additionally, 'tomorrow' must be converted to 'the next day'.

Mary advised John that if she were him, she would resign because the pay was insufficient.
