Correct Answer: An arrow hit him in the eye.


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

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 an active sentence in the case of the simple past tense is: " Subject + past participle form of the main verb + prepositional phrase."

Therefore, the correct answer is: " An arrow hit him in the eye ."
