    Question

    Choose the option that is the active form of the sentence.
    An award was given to the film ‘Andhaa Dhund.’

    A.

    The jury had given the film ‘Andhaa Dhund’ an award.

    B.

    The jury gave the film ‘Andhaa Dhund’ an award.

    C.

    The jury was gave the film ‘Andhaa Dhund’ an award.

    D.

    The jury will give the award to the film ‘Andhaa Dhund’.

    Correct option is B

    The correct active form of the sentence "An award was given to the film 'Andhaa Dhund.'” is "The jury gave the film ‘Andhaa Dhund’ an award."
    · Active Voice- Active voice is a grammatical structure in which the subject of the sentence performs the action expressed by the verb.
    · Passive Voice- Passive voice refers to a grammatical construction where the subject of a sentence undergoes an action rather than performing it. In passive voice sentences, the emphasis is on the recipient or object of the action.
    · This conversion properly identifies "the jury" as the subject who performed the action of giving, with "the film ‘Andhaa Dhund’" as the object receiving the award.
    · Example: The committee awarded the best actor prize to the leading star, similarly converting a passive statement to active with the actor as the doer of the action.
    · Other options:
    · (a) The jury had given the film ‘Andhaa Dhund’ an award changes the tense unnecessarily to past perfect.
    · (c) The jury was gave the film ‘Andhaa Dhund’ an award and (d) The jury will give the award to the film ‘Andhaa Dhund’ are grammatically incorrect or misrepresent the original timing of the action.
