Correct option is C
The correct active/passive voice of the given sentence is (c).
Explain the rules of conversion from passive to active with structure in detail.
When a sentence is in
simple past passive (was/were + V3), convert to
simple past active (Subject + V2 + Object). The
agent in the “by”-phrase becomes the
subject in active voice; the
passive subject becomes the
object.
Structure:
·
Passive Voice: Object (The cake) +
was + V3 (baked) +
by + Agent (Mary) + Adverbial (for her brother's birthday party).
·
Active Voice: Agent (Mary) + V2 (baked) + Object (the cake) + Adverbial (for her brother's birthday party).
· Thus, “
Mary baked the cake for her brother’s birthday party.”
·
Information booster: The adjunct “for her brother’s birthday party” remains unchanged. If the agent is unknown/irrelevant, the
by-phrase is often omitted in passive constructions.
