Correct Answer: Trained people are replacing unskilled workers in this factory.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: Active voice is a sentence construction where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. When converting it to active voice, the sentence shifts the focus to the doer of the action.

The structure of the active voice sentence in the case of the present continuous tense is, "Subject (trained people) + are + present participle form of the verb (replacing) + object (unskilled workers) + prepositional phrase (in this factory)".

Therefore, the correct answer is: Trained people are replacing unskilled workers in this factory.
