Correct Answer: The scientist made a remarkable discovery


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Active voice emphasises the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasises the receiver. To convert passive to active, we make the subject perform the action and rephrase the verb.

This structure of the active voice in the case of the simple past tense is: "Subject + past form of the main verb + singular object."

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The scientist made a remarkable discovery. "
