Correct Answer: How much did you pay for this watch?


Solution : The correct option is the first option.

An active voice sentence is a sentence where the subject performs the action expressed by the verb. In the active voice, the subject (you) becomes the doer of the action, and the verb "was paid" transforms to "did you pay". The active voice is more direct and concise, making the sentence clearer and more natural.

The structure of the active voice sentence is: subject + verb + object.

Therefore, the correct answer is: How much did you pay for this watch?
