Sonora organized the textbooks.. should be your answer

In an active voice, the subject must precede the indirect object and direct object.

The best way to write the sentence in the active voice: The textbooks were organized by Sonora, is;

A) Sonora organized the textbooks

Active voice emphasizes the person or object doing the action. Sonora is the subject and organized is the verb, so Sonora should be emphasized. The other options have the textbooks as the subject and are passive voice, not active.
