Choose the option that is the active form of the sentence.
By whom was this window broken? Five packets of milk were delivered by the milkman.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct option that is the active form of the sentence is Who broke this window? The milkman delivered five packets of milk.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Who is breaking this window? is in the present progressive tense, while the original sentence is in the past tense.
- Whom was break this window? and Who had broke this window? are grammatically incorrect. The verb "to break" is followed by a direct object, but the phrases "whom was break" and "who had broke" are not direct objects.
