Which of the following options is the correct Active form of the sentence below:
"The roof was damaged by the storm".
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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.
