From the given alternatives, choose the one which best expresses the sentence in Active/Passive voice.
He is said to be very polite

People say he is very polite.

The correct answer is People say he is very polite.

The original sentence is in the passive voice, with the subject "he" and the verb "is said". The word "said" is a linking verb, and it does not show who is doing the action of saying. In this case, the action of saying is being done by an unknown person or group of people. The passive voice sentence "He is said to be very polite" means that people say that he is very polite.

The other options are incorrect.

• He said he is very polite is in active voice, but it changes the meaning of the sentence. The original sentence means that people say that he is very polite, but the active voice sentence means that he says that he is very polite.
• He said it is very polite is also in active voice, but it changes the meaning of the sentence even more. The original sentence means that people say that he is very polite, but the active voice sentence means that he says that something is very polite.
• People say it is very polite is in passive voice, but it is not grammatically correct. The word "it" does not have a clear referent in the sentence.
