Question : Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
Four people were arrested by the police for cheating.
Option 1: The police arrested four people for cheating.
Option 2: The police has arrested four people for cheating.
Option 3: The police is arresting four people for cheating.
Option 4: Four people arrested the police for cheating.
Correct Answer: The police arrested four people for cheating.
Solution : The correct choice is the first 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 is: "Subject + past participle of the main verb + object + prepositional phrase."
Therefore, the active voice would be: "The police arrested four people for cheating."
