Correct Answer: Keep a strict eye on rumour mongers.


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.

In the active voice, the subject takes a more prominent role. The revised sentence begins with the active verb "keep", making it a direct command.

The active voice sentence follows the structure: "subject + verb + object" .

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: " Keep a strict eye on rumour mongers."
