Question:

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.

My pocket has been picked.

Options:

Someone’s pocket has been picked by me.

Someone had my pocket picked.

Someone has picked my pocket.

I picked someone’s pocket.

Correct Answer:

Someone has picked my pocket.

Explanation:

The correct option that expresses the given sentence in active voice is Someone has picked my pocket.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • My pocket has been picked is in the passive voice.
  • Someone’s pocket has been picked by me is grammatically incorrect. The subject of the sentence is "me," which is not the one who picked the pocket.
  • Someone had my pocket picked is in the past perfect tense, while the original sentence is in the present tense.
  • I picked someone’s pocket is in the active voice, but it does not specify who picked the pocket.
