Correct Answer: The judge punishes the guilty.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: In the original sentence, "The guilty are punished by the judge" the focus is on the guilty (the receiver of the action). In the active voice, the subject performing the action becomes the grammatical subject of the sentence.

The structure of the sentence in the active voice in the case of the simple present tense is: Singular subject + (base form of the verb + s or es) + object.

So, the correct sentence would be: "The judge punishes the guilty."
