    Question

    Choose the correct alternative which best expresses the given sentence in Active voice.
    The thief was caught red-handed by the police.

    A.

    The police was caught red-handed by the thief.

    B.

    The police caught the thief red-handed.

    C.

    The police catches the thief red-handed.

    D.

    The thief got caught red-handed.

    Correct option is B


    · ✔️ The correct active voice is: The police caught the thief red-handed.
    Definition of Voice:
    · Active Voice: The subject performs the action (e.g., "Manisha was reading a book").
    · Passive Voice: The action is received by the subject (e.g., "A book was being read by Manisha").
    Explanation:
    · Passive sentence is in Simple Past Tense – “was caught”.
    · Convert to active by making the agent (the police) the subject: “caught”.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · Passive (Past Simple): Object + was/were + V3 + by + subject
    · Active (Past Simple): Subject + V2 + object
    Explanation in Hindi:
    · Passive से Active बनाते समय क्रिया को V2 रूप में बदलते हैं और Object को Subject बना देते हैं।
    · उदाहरण:
    · Passive: "The letter was written by her."
    · Active: "She wrote the letter."
    Meanings of other options:
    · ❌ (a) Subject-object wrong.
    · ❌ (c) Present tense – incorrect transformation.
    · ❌ (d) Unclear structure – not ideal active voice.
