Explanation: "It is possible" indicates that there is a chance or likelihood that Frances will travel to India. "Might" is a synonym that expresses the same meaning.
2. Alfred Nobel invented dynamite in 1867. Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel in 1867.
Explanation: "Invented by" is a phrase that indicates the person who created or came up with something. By using passive voice, we can focus on the invention rather than the inventor.
3. My friends said they were eating at the pizzeria. We said that my friends were eating at the pizzeria.
Explanation: "We said" implies that the speaker passed on the information received from their friends. By using the phrase "that my friends were eating at the pizzeria," we maintain the same meaning while changing the sentence structure.
4. I can't go to Marie's party and I'm really disappointed. I wish I could go to Marie's party.
Explanation: By using the phrase "I wish," we express a desire or longing for something that is not possible. In this case, the speaker wishes they could go to Marie's party despite being unable to attend.
5. They will sell the paintings at an auction. The paintings will be sold at an auction.
Explanation: By using passive voice and changing the sentence structure, we emphasize the paintings being the subject of the action (being sold), rather than the person or group organizing the auction.
6. Someone has reported the accident to the police. The accident has been reported to the police.
Explanation: Similar to the previous explanation, we use passive voice to shift the focus onto the accident being reported rather than the person who reported it.
7. I haven't been to the bank yet, said Wendy. Wendy said that she hadn't been to the bank yet.
Explanation: By changing the pronoun "I" to "she" to match the reported speech, we maintain consistency in the perspective. Additionally, we use the phrase "that she hadn't been to the bank yet" to reflect the original statement accurately.
8. They don't sell books at the shop on the comer. Books are not sold at the shop on the corner.
Explanation: By using passive voice, we shift the focus onto the books being the object of the action (not being sold), rather than the people who own or operate the shop.
9. It isn't necessary for students to wear a school uniform. Students do not need to wear a school uniform.
Explanation: By using the phrase "do not need to," we express the absence of a requirement, while maintaining the same meaning as the original sentence.
10. You can't park there. You are not allowed to park there.
Explanation: By using the phrase "are not allowed to," we communicate the restriction or prohibition related to parking in a certain area, which is the same as the original sentence.
