Correct Answer: The kitten was nudging the ball of yarn.


Solution : The correct choice is the t hird 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 past continuous tense is: " Singular subject + was + present participle form of the verb + object + prepositional phrase."

Therefore, the sentence in the active voice is: "The kitten was nudging the ball of yarn."
