Answer:

Active :- The crew paved the entire stretch of highway."

Passive :- 'The entire stretch of highway was paved by the crew'

Explanation:-

The given sentence is in the Active voice, as the form of the verb (‘paved’) shows that its subject (‘The crew’) did something and was ‘active’.

The given sentence is in the Active voice, as the form of the verb (‘paved’) shows that its subject (‘The crew’) did something and was ‘active’.Therefore, it has to be changed to the Passive voice, where something was done by the subject, and it was ‘passive’.

In order to do that,

(a). The object of the transitive verb (a verb that requires one or more objects) in the Active voice should become the subject of the verb in the Passive voice (‘The entire stretch of highway’ becomes the subject in place of ‘The crew’).

(b) The verb should be changed from the Active voice to the Passive voice (‘paved’ to ‘was paved’).

Thus, the same sentence in the Passive voice is ‘The entire stretch of highway was paved by the crew’.
