Correct Answer: His father praised him.


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth 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.

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

Therefore, the correct sentence is: His father praised him.
