Choose the correct option which best expresses the following sentence in Active Voice:

He was appointed chairman.

They appointed him chairman

The correct answer is Option (1) - They appointed him chairman

To change the sentence from Passive Voice to Active Voice:

• Passive sentence: He was appointed chairman.
• Here, He is the receiver of the action and the doer of the action is not mentioned.
• When the agent is unknown in a passive sentence, a general subject such as "They" can be used.

Converting to active voice: They appointed him chairman.

Option 2: You appointed him chairman. There is no indication in the original sentence that "you" performed the action.

Option 3: He appointed chairman. This is grammatically incorrect because the sentence lacks an object.

Option 4: Chairman appointed him. This changes the meaning of the original sentence completely.
