Fine, I go with the answer given (option A). But what voice is that, active or passive? I would like to both the forms of the question. Help me out please.

'Why' should be followed by a helping verb, so how A option can be correct ?

@Likitha

You are correct.

Since there is no '?' mark at the end of the statement, it is a statement form and the explanation given by you is absolutely correct.

@ Likitha

I am with you.......

Very careful observation of question.....
Had the question been like "Why should the candidates be afraid of English Language?" its meaning would have changed and so the answer.

I didn't get the question.
Likitha said:   1 decade ago
"Should the candidates be.." is a question form but it is a statement.

So the candidates should be is the correct answer.
Harish said:   1 decade ago
Are the candidates is also applicable here as the statement is a irregular question?
