(a) The man must have eaten five bananas.
(b) Vipin mailed the letter.
2. Now observe the following sentences
(a) Five bananas must have been eaten by the man.

One summer in 1904, a camp was rented by my father on a lake in Maine, and we were taken there for the month of August. Ringworm was got from some kittens, and ‘Pond’s Extract’ had to be rubbed on our arms and legs night and morning. Besides this, the vacation was thought to be a success, and from then on it was thought that there was no place like that lake.
It was returned to summer after summer – always on the first of August, for one month. Since then a saltwater man has been made of me, but sometimes in summer, I am made to wish for the placidity of a lake in the woods by the restlessness of the tides and the fearful cold of the seawater in the afternoon and evening, which is blown across by the incessant wind. A few weeks ago this feeling was experienced by me so strongly that a couple of bass hooks and a spinner were bought and the lake that used to be visited by us was returned to by me for a week’s fishing to be done and for old haunts to be revisited.
