Choose the correct active form of the given sentence.
Admission was refused to Sheetal by the school.

Correct option is A

The correct active voice of the given sentence is (a) The school refused admission to Sheetal.
Rules of conversion (Passive → Active):
1. Identify agent (by the school) and patient/object (admission … to Sheetal).
2. In passive, structure = Object + be (was/were) + V3 + (by + Agent).
3. To convert, make the agent the subject in active; use the corresponding active verb form matching tense: was refused → refused (Simple Past).
4. Retain the remaining complements/prepositional phrases ( admission to Sheetal) in their logical places.
5. Why other options are incorrect:
· (b) has been refusing changes tense/aspect (Present Perfect Continuous), not equivalent to was refused.
· (c) will be refused changes to future passive, not the required active.
· (d) Repeats the passive form instead of the active transformation.
Structure:
· Active voice: Subject + V2/V-ed + Object (+ to/for + Indirect Object/Complement)
· The school (S) + refused (V2) + admission (O) + to Sheetal (Comp).
· Passive voice: Object + was/were + V3 + (by + Agent)
· Admission (O) + was + refused (V3) + by the school (Agent) + to Sheetal (Comp).
Example:
· Active: The committee granted permission to Arjun.
· Passive: Permission was granted to Arjun by the committee.
Info booster (exceptions/notes):
· With ditransitive verbs (give/offer/refuse), English often allows two passive patterns:
· Sheetal was refused admission (by the school).
· Admission was refused to Sheetal (by the school).
· When restoring to active, prefer: The school refused Sheetal admission / refused admission to Sheetal.
