Correct Answer: The curator reported the theft to the police.


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

Active voice is the voice where the subject performs the action. When transforming a sentence from the passive voice to the active voice, the object of the passive voice becomes the subject. Thus, "the curator" becomes the subject.

The structure of the active voice in the simple past tense is: " Subject + past participle form of the main verb + object + prepositional phrase ."

Therefore, the sentence in the active voice is: The curator reported the theft to the police.
