Which sentence is in the active voice?
Question

Which sentence is in the active voice?

A.

The ball was kicked by the boy.

B.

The painting was admired by everyone.

C.

She reads a book every day.

D.

The book was written by Shakespeare.

Correct option is C

The correct option is (c).

In active voice, the subject performs the action directly. In the sentence She reads a book every day, the subject She is doing the action reads. Hence, it is in active voice.

Step-by-step reasoning:

  • Find the subject: She.
  • Find the verb/action: reads.
  • Check whether the subject performs the action: Yes, She performs reads.

Rule and structure:

  • Active Voice: Subject + Verb + Object
  • Example: She (Subject) reads (Verb) a book (Object).

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (a), (b), (d) are in passive voice because they follow the pattern was/were + V3 + by, where the object becomes the subject and the doer is introduced using by.

So the correct answer is (c)
