Correct Answer: The children were plucking the flowers in the garden.
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 for the active voice in the case of the past continuous tense is: "Plural subject + were + continuous form of the verb + object."
Therefore, the correct active sentence is: "The children were plucking the flowers in the garden."
