Difficulty: MediumActive and Passive Voice Transformation

Complete the passive transformation of the active sentence below by filling in the missing verb phrase.

Active sentence: The environmental agency will issue new guidelines on industrial waste management.

Answer:New guidelines on industrial waste management 【will be issued】 by the environmental agency.

Answer

will be issued
In converting the active simple future structure 'will issue' into the passive voice, the rule requires maintaining the modal auxiliary 'will', inserting the passive auxiliary 'be', and using the past participle form of the principal verb ('issued'). Thus, the correct phrase is 'will be issued'.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the tense and structure of the main verb in the active sentence.
The verb 'will issue' is in the simple future tense (modal auxiliary 'will' + base verb 'issue').
Preserving tense, aspect, and mood is essential when converting active constructions to passive constructions.
2
Apply the rule for simple future passive transformation.
Simple future active (will + base verb) converts to simple future passive (will + be + past participle).
The object 'new guidelines' becomes the new subject, requiring the passive auxiliary sequence 'will be' followed by 'issued'.
