Complete the minutes of the last meeting.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
Correct Answer: B - Minutes of the last meeting are to be completed.
This option correctly uses the passive voice to indicate that the action of completing the minutes needs to be done. The subject ("Minutes of the last meeting") is receiving the action ("to be completed"). It accurately reflects the instruction to finish the minutes.
Why other options are incorrect:
A - The last meeting's minutes are completed. This implies the minutes are already finished. The instruction is to *complete* them, not state that they are already done.
C - The meeting's last minutes are completed. This is grammatically awkward and unclear. "Last minutes" is ambiguous. It's better to say "minutes of the last meeting."
D - The completed minutes of last meeting is to be tabled. This implies the minutes are *already* completed and are now to be tabled (formally presented). The instruction, however, is to complete them, not table them.
