Correct Answer: His son was avoiding football tournament.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Active voice emphasises the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasises the receiver. To convert passive to active, we make the subject perform the action and rephrase the verb.

The structure of the active voice in the case of the past continuous tense is: " Singular subject + was + continuous form of the verb + object."

Therefore, the sentence in the active voice is: His son was avoiding the football tournament.
