Correct Answer: (A) I am going to write a letter
Passive to Active voice transformation is a core grammar skill tested in NTRCA English sections.
Steps to convert passive to active:
— Passive: "A letter is going to be written by me."
— Identify: Object of active = "a letter", Agent (doer) = "me" → becomes "I"
— Tense: "is going to be written" = Future (going to) Passive
— Active structure: Subject + is/am/are going to + V1 + Object
— Active: "I am going to write a letter."
Why this is correct:
— "be going to + V1" is used for planned future actions
— Active correctly restores "me" → "I" as subject, and "a letter" as object
— The tense structure "am going to write" correctly matches "is going to be written"
Why other options are wrong:
✗ I will write to letter: tense changed to simple future; "to letter" is wrong grammar
✗ I am writing a letter: changes to Present Continuous — different tense
✗ I will be going to write a letter: grammatically awkward double future construction
