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.
