Choose the option that is the active form of the sentence.
The politician’s speech was loudly cheered.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct option that is the active form of the sentence is The audience loudly cheered the politician’s speech.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The politician’s speech was loudly cheered is in the passive voice.
- The audience was loudly cheered by the politician’s speech is also in the passive voice.
- The audience had been loudly cheered by the politician is in the past perfect tense, while the original sentence is in the present tense.
- The audience cheer the politician’s loud speech is grammatically incorrect. The verb "to cheer" is followed by a direct object, but the phrase "the audience cheer" is not a direct object.
