Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
The article had not been posted by Mr. Gupta.
Option 1: Mr. Gupta had not posted the article.
Option 2: Mr. Gupta has not posted the article.
Option 3: Mr. Gupta have not been posted the article.
Option 4: Mr. Gupta still had not posted the article.
Correct Answer: Mr. Gupta had not posted the article.
Solution : The correct choice is the first 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 voice in the case of the past perfect negative sentence is: "Singular subject + had + not + past participle form of the verb + object."
Therefore, the correct active sentence is: "Mr. Gupta had not posted the article."
