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."
