Select the correct Active/Passive form of the given sentence.

Ruchita said to the news anchor, “The minister is expected to arrive at 4:00 PM.

Ruchita told the news anchor that the minister was expected to arrive at 4:00 PM.

The correct active/passive form of the given sentence is Ruchita told the news anchor that the minister was expected to arrive at 4:00 PM.

The sentence is in the simple past tense, which is used to describe an action that happened in the past. The active voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the sentence before the verb and removing the word "by." In this case, the subject of the sentence is "Ruchita" and the verb is "tell." So, the active form of the sentence is "Ruchita told the news anchor that the minister was expected to arrive at 4:00 PM."

The other options are incorrect because:

• Ruchita said to the news anchor, “The minister is expected to arrive at 4:00 PM.” This is the original sentence in the active voice.
• Ruchita told the news anchor that the minister has been expected to arrive at 4:00 PM.” This is incorrect because the verb "has been" is in the present perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that started in the past and is still relevant to the present. The sentence is about an action that happened in the past.
• Ruchita told the news anchor that the minister had been expected to arrive at 4:00 PM.” This is incorrect because the verb "had been" is in the past perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that happened in the past and is still relevant to the present. The sentence is about an action that happened in the past.
• Ruchita tells the news anchor that the minister was expected to arrive at 4:00 PM.” This is incorrect because the verb "tells" is in the present tense, but the sentence is about an action that happened in the past.
