Question

Select the option that expresses the following sentence in active voice.
Tara’s painting was stolen from the museum.

A.

Someone stole Tara’s painting from the museum.

B.

Someone has stolen Tara’s painting from the museum.

C.

Tara’s painting has been stolen from the museum.

D.

Someone from the museum stole Tara’s painting.

Correct option is A

The correct active voice is Someone stole Tara’s painting from the museum.
Explanation:
· In passive voice, the subject receives the action (was stolen). To convert to active voice, the subject performing the action ("Someone") is introduced, and the verb is used in the simple past tense to maintain the original meaning.
Rules of conversion:
· Passive Voice Structure: Subject + was/were + past participle + object.
· Active Voice Structure: Subject (doer) + verb (simple past) + object.
Why other options are incorrect:
· Option (b): "Has stolen" changes the tense to present perfect, which alters the meaning.
· Option (c): Retains the passive structure, not active voice.
· Option (d): Adds unnecessary information ("from the museum") to the subject, making it contextually incorrect.
