    Question

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
    "He must be written to by us."

    A.

    We can write.

    B.

    We must write to him.

    C.

    We are writing to him.

    D.

    I have been writing to him.

    Correct option is B


    Explanation of the Correct Answer: · The given sentence is in passive voice.
    · Active voice structure: Subject + Modal Verb + Base Verb + Object.
    · Passive form: Object + Modal Verb + be + Past Participle + by + Subject.
    · The subject is "we," and the object is "him" (from "to him").
    · The correct active sentence is: "We must write to him."
    Why Are the Other Options Incorrect? · (a) "We can write." → Incorrect; it changes the modal verb "must" to "can," altering the meaning.
    · (c) "We are writing to him." → Incorrect; it changes "must be written" (obligation) to present continuous.
    · (d) "I have been writing to him." → Incorrect; it changes the sentence to present perfect continuous.
    Thus, the correct sentence is:
    "We must write to him."
