Correct Answer: Luckily, they did not use the machinery.


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

Active voice is the voice where the subject performs the action. To convert a sentence from passive to active voice, we identify the subject performing the action and rephrase the sentence accordingly.

The structure of the negative sentence in the active voice in the case of simple past tense is: " Adverb + subject + did not + base form of the verb + object."

Therefore, the active sentence is: Luckily, they did not use the machinery.
