    · Definition of Voice:
    · Active voice: The subject performs the action.
    · Passive voice: The subject receives the action.
    · Explanation:
    · The passive sentence “The report was written by the manager” is in simple past tense (was + V3).
    · The active form uses past simple tense: Subject (The manager) + V2 (wrote) + Object (the report).
    · Grammatical rule used:
    · Passive voice (simple past): Object + was/were + V3 + by + Subject
    · Active voice: Subject + V2 + Object
    · ✦ Hindi Explanation: Simple past passive को active में बदलने पर क्रिया का दूसरा रूप (V2) आता है। जैसे "was written" को "wrote" में बदला जाता है।
    · Meanings of all the other options:
    · (a) The manager is writing the report – ❌ Present continuous tense; not matching the original.
    · (c) The manager has written the report – ❌ Present perfect; changes the time frame.
    · (d) The manager writes the report – ❌ Simple present; incorrect for past action.
