Correct Answer: The author wrote the letter and mailed it to the publisher.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Active voice is a sentence construction where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. In an active voice sentence, the subject is the doer of the action.

The structure of an active voice sentence in the simple past tense typically follows this pattern: "Subject + past form of the verb + object."

Therefore, the correct active voice sentence is: "The author wrote the letter and mailed it to the publisher."
