Question

Which choice correctly changes the sentence below, written using passive voice, into a sentence using active voice?

1) He purchased a new car.
2) A new car was purchased by John.
3) A new car was purchased.
4) John purchased the new car purchased by him.

Answer 1

The correct choice that changes the sentence from passive voice to active voice is option 1) He purchased a new car.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct choice that changes the sentence from passive voice to active voice is option 1) He purchased a new car. Passive voice is when the subject receives the action of the verb, while active voice is when the subject performs the action of the verb.

In the original sentence, option 2) is in the passive voice because the subject 'A new car' is being acted upon by 'John'. Option 3) is also in the passive voice because the subject 'A new car' is being acted upon, but there is no mention of who performed the action. Option 4) is incorrect because it is worded awkwardly and does not make sense.
