Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
The first bus to Jaipur was missed by them.

Correct option is D

The correct active form of the given sentence is (d) They missed the first bus to Jaipur.
Explanation:
The sentence given is in Passive Voice — “was missed by them.”
To convert to Active Voice, the object of the passive sentence (“them”) becomes the subject (“They”) and the structure changes as follows:
Structure:
· Passive Voice: Object + was/were + past participle + by + Subject
· Active Voice: Subject + V2 (past tense) + Object
Thus:
Passive: The first bus to Jaipur was missed by them.
Active: They missed the first bus to Jaipur.
Why other options are incorrect:
· (a) “have missed” – present perfect tense; not matching the original past tense.
· (b) “are missing” – present continuous; incorrect.
· (c) “had missed” – past perfect; implies earlier action, not simple past.
Information Booster:
The auxiliary “was” in the passive voice indicates Simple Past Tense, hence in active form, V2 (missed) should be used.
