Correct Answer: She was distributing the cards to her friends.


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.

The structure of the active voice in the case of the past continuous tense is Singular subject + was + present partciple form of the verb + prepositional phrase.

Therefore, the correct answer is: " She was distributing the cards to her friends. "
