    Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure: The package is delivered to the office every morn
    Question

    Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure:
    The package is delivered to the office every morning.

    A.

    The office delivers the package every morning.

    B.

    Someone delivers the package to the office every morning.

    C.

    The office has delivered the package every morning.

    D.

    The package delivers itself to the office every morning.

    Correct option is B

    The correct active/passive voice of the given sentence is (b).
    The given sentence is in Passive Voice (present simple):
    “is delivered” = be (is) + V3 (delivered)
    To convert Passive → Active, we bring the doer (agent) as the subject. Since the doer is not given, we use a general subject like someone/they/the courier.
    Structure:
    Passive Voice: Object + is/am/are + V3 + place/time
    · The package + is + delivered + to the office + every morning
    Active voice: Subject (agent) + V1 + Object + place/time
    · Someone + delivers + the package + to the office + every morning
    Explain why other options are incorrect:
    · (a) “The office delivers the package…”
    · “Office” is the receiver/location, not the doer. The office does not usually deliver a package to itself.
    · (c) “has delivered”
    · Changes tense to present perfect, while the original is present simple habitual action (“every morning”).
    · (d) “delivers itself”
    · Illogical: a package cannot deliver itself.
    Information booster:
    Passive (Present Simple) ↔ Active (Present Simple) mapping:
    · is/am/are + V3V1 (s/es)
    · Example:
    · Passive: The letters are posted daily.
    · Active: The clerk posts the letters daily.
