1.They said that he was innocent. (Change the voice) (a) He was said to be innocent (b) He was innocent said by them (c) He was proved innocent (d) It was said that he was innocent
Answer
The answer is (d) It was said that he was innocent.
The object of the verb said is the whole noun clause "that he was innocent". A change of voice moves that object into the subject position, and because a clause cannot comfortably stand at the head of a sentence, English supplies the anticipatory "it": It was said (by them) that he was innocent. The tense is preserved, said becoming was said, and the subordinate clause is untouched.
Why the others are wrong, and one qualification:
- (b) He was innocent said by them is not a sentence. It has no construction at all.
- (c) He was proved innocent changes the meaning. Saying a man is innocent and proving him innocent are different events, and a transformation may not alter the sense.
- (a) He was said to be innocent is correct English, and this is the qualification the question does not allow for. It is the personal passive, formed by lifting the subject of the subordinate clause into the main clause and turning the clause into an infinitive phrase. It is a legitimate passive of this sentence. It is not the answer here only because it involves a further transformation beyond the change of voice, whereas (d) is the direct passive with the clause left intact.
