Correct Answer: Our group is staging a play this evening.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Active voice is the voice where the subject performs the action. When converting a sentence from the passive voice to the active voice, the subject performs the action rather than the action received by the subject.

The structure of the active sentence in the present continuous tense is: "Singular subject + is + present participle form of the verb + object + time phrase."

Therefore, the correct active voice sentence is: Our group is staging a play this evening.
