Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
The problem will be solved by my friend.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct option that expresses the given sentence in active voice is My friend will solve the problem.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The problem will be solved by my friend is in the passive voice.
- My friend was solved the problem is grammatically incorrect. The verb "to solve" is transitive, which means that it takes a direct object. However, the subject of the sentence is "my friend," which is not a direct object.
- My friend will be solving the problem is in the future progressive tense, while the original sentence is in the future tense.
- My friend solves the problem is in the present tense, but it does not specify when the problem will be solved.
