Correct Answer: They dismantled several old buildings to build the new hospital.


Solution : The right choice is the fourth option .

Active voice is the voice where the subject performs the action. When changing a sentence from the passive voice to the active voice, the subject and the object get inverted.

The structure of the active sentence in the simple past tense is, " Plural subject + verb + object + prepositional phrase".

Therefore, the sentence in the active voice is: They dismantled several old buildings to build the new hospital.
