Answer 1

The correct active voice version of the sentence is 'Scientists consider the International Space Station (ISS) as the starting point for future space travel,' making option A the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

To change the sentence from passive voice to active voice, we must make the subject performing the action the focus of the sentence. The sentence "The International Space Station (ISS) is considered by scientists to be the starting point for future space travel." is in passive voice. The subject that performs the action in the sentence is "scientists."

Thus, the correct sentence in active voice is: Scientists consider the International Space Station (ISS) as the starting point for future space travel. Therefore, option A is the correct transformation from passive to active voice. The other options either retain passive voice or alter the meaning of the original sentence.
