Question:

Which of the following options is the correct Active form of the sentence below:

"The roof was damaged by the storm".

Options:

The damage of roof by the storm.

The roof damage are due to storm.

The storm damaged the roof.

The roof can get damaged because of storm.

Correct Answer:

The storm damaged the roof.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → The storm damaged the roof.

Explanation:
- The original sentence is in the passive voice, where the subject (roof) receives the action (was damaged) performed by the agent (storm).
- In the active voice, the subject performs the action. So, we need to rewrite the sentence to make the storm (the agent) the subject performing the action of damaging.
- "The storm damaged the roof" correctly conveys that the storm caused the damage to the roof.
