Cevap

The active transformation that correctly preserves the tense, aspect, and full phrasal verb structure is: 'Had the chief accountant not handed over the confidential file to the external auditors before the sudden inspection?'
The correct response accurately moves the agent into the subject position, maintains the past perfect interrogative auxiliary structure, and retains the essential particle of the phrasal verb.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the grammatical subject, main verb phrase, object, and tense of the passive sentence.
The passive sentence is in the past perfect interrogative form ('Had... been handed over') with the agent 'the chief accountant' and object 'the confidential file'.
Converting from passive to active requires making the agent of the passive prepositional phrase ('by the chief accountant') the active subject.
2
Transform the verb phrase from passive past perfect interrogative to active past perfect interrogative while preserving phrasal verb particles.
'Had... been handed over' becomes 'Had [subject] not handed over'.
The auxiliary 'been' is removed to form the active past perfect, while the particle 'over' must be retained.
3
Reconstruct the complete clause and verify subject-verb agreement and particle integrity.
'Had the chief accountant not handed over the confidential file to the external auditors before the sudden inspection?'
This maintains the precise semantic meaning, aspect, and syntactic structure of the original passive statement.
