Correct Answer: The unexpected noise terrified the dog.


Solution : The correct choice is the second 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 sentence in the case of the active voice in the simple past tense is: Subject + past form of the verb + singular object.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The unexpected noise terrified the dog."
