    Question

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
    The batteries in the smoke detector have been changed.

    A.

    Someone had changed the batteries in the smoke detector.

    B.

    Someone has been changing the batteries in the smoke detector.

    C.

    Someone changed the batteries in the smoke detector.

    D.

    Someone has changed the batteries in the smoke detector.

    Correct option is D


    ✔️ Correct option: (d) Someone has changed the batteries in the smoke detector.
    · Definition of Voice:
    · Passive Voice: The subject receives the action (e.g., The batteries have been changed).
    · Active Voice: The subject performs the action (e.g., Someone has changed the batteries).
    · Explanation:
    · The passive sentence is in present perfect tense (“have been changed”).
    · The correct active form is: has + V3 with a clear subject (Someone).
    · Grammatical rule used:
    · Passive (Present Perfect): Object + has/have been + V3
    · Active: Subject + has/have + V3 + object
    · Hindi Explanation: Present perfect passive को active में बदलते समय “has/have been + V3” को “has/have + V3” में बदलते हैं और subject जोड़ते हैं।
    · Meanings of all the other options:
    · (a) – Past perfect tense; incorrect
    · (b) – Present perfect continuous; mismatched tense
    · (c) – Simple past tense; wrong verb form for “have been changed”
