Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

No substitution required

Solution :

The correct answer is No substitution required.


Explanation:

The sentence is: "Applications are to be sent to the school’s e-mail ID before 30th June."

1. The subject of the clause is "Applications" (plural noun).

2. The structure "are to be + past participle" (are to be sent) is grammatically correct and expresses an instruction, arrangement, or requirement in the passive voice.

3. Let's analyze the given options:

- would be send to: Incorrect because the passive construction requires the past participle form of the verb ("sent"), not the base form ("send").

- is sending: Incorrect because "Applications" is a plural subject (requiring "are", not "is") and the active continuous form does not fit the passive meaning (applications do not send, they are sent).

- will be send to: Incorrect because it uses the base form "send" instead of the past participle "sent".


Therefore, the original underlined segment is entirely correct, and no substitution is required.
