Correct Answer: They postponed the meeting by a week.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The active voice is a type of sentence or clause in which the subject performs the action. It's a more direct and straightforward way of expressing ideas. In an active sentence, the subject is the doer of the action, and the object is the receiver of the action.

The structure of the active voice for the past tense sentence is: "Subject + past form of the verb + object."

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "They postponed the meeting by a week."
