Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
I was not hired by her.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct active voice of the given sentence is She did not hire me.
The passive voice of the sentence is I was not hired by her. This sentence is in the simple past tense, which is used to describe an action that happened in the past. The passive voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the active sentence after the verb "to be" and the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the subject of the active sentence is "I" and the main verb is "hire." The past participle of "hire" is "hired." So, the passive form of the sentence is I was not hired by her.
The active voice of the sentence is formed by putting the subject of the passive sentence before the verb and removing the verb "to be." In this case, the subject of the passive sentence is "she" and the main verb is "hire." So, the active form of the sentence is She did not hire me.
The other options are incorrect because:
- She was not hired. is in the passive voice, while the question is asking for the active voice.
- She has not been hired me. is grammatically incorrect. The verb "has not been" is used with the past participle of the verb "hire," but the object of the sentence is "me."
- She was not hiring me. is in the past progressive tense, which is used to describe an action that was happening in the past but was not completed.
