    Question

    Choose the option that is the active form of the sentence.
    I am sometimes puzzled by her actions.

    A.

    Her actions are sometimes puzzled by me.

    B.

    Her actions sometimes puzzle me.

    C.

    She can sometimes puzzle me.

    D.

    Her actions were sometimes puzzling me.

    Correct option is B

    The correct active form of the sentence "I am sometimes puzzled by her actions." is "Her actions sometimes puzzle me."
    · 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.
    Conversion rule: Present indefinite
    Subject + verb + object -> <- Object + auxiliary verb (is, am, are) + past participle + by + subject.
    · This transformation correctly retains the meaning of the original sentence while converting it from passive to active voice.
    · "Her actions" become the subject performing the action of puzzling "me," which is the direct object in this active voice structure.
    · Other options:
    · (a) "Her actions are sometimes puzzled by me," (c) "She can sometimes puzzle me," and (d) "Her actions were sometimes puzzling me" do not maintain the correct subject-verb relationship or tense for the active voice equivalent.
