    B.

    His grandmother brought him up and educated him.

    C.

    His grandmother bring him up and educate him.

    D.

    Correct option is B


    Active voice: The subject of the sentence does the action (e.g., The chef cooked the meal).
    Passive voice: The subject of the sentence receives the action (e.g., The meal was cooked by the chef).
    The correct active voice is (b) His grandmother brought him up and educated him.
    Explanation:
    · Passive: was brought up and educated
    · Active voice requires both verbs in simple past to match the original tense.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    Passive: was + V3 and V3
    Active: subject + V2 and V2
    Correct structure:
    His grandmother (subject) brought up and educated (V2 + V2) him (object).
    Incorrect options:
    · (a) “bring” – incorrect tense.
    · (c) “bring...educate” – both incorrect.
    · (d) “brought...educate” – mismatched tenses.
