Correct Answer: The company manufactured the car in a factory overseas.


Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

Active voice refers to a sentence structure where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. In this case, the sentence is in the passive voice as the subject ("the car") is being acted upon ("was manufactured by the company in a factory overseas").

To convert this sentence into an active voice, the subject should become the doer of the action, and the sentence should focus on the subject performing the action of manufacturing the car.

The active voice sentence in the case of the simple past tense follows the structure: Subject + past form of the verb + object.

Therefore, the sentence in active voice would be: The company manufactured the car in a factory overseas.
